Hugh Cecil Charles Monahan (1914 - 1970) British Columbia / Canada, Ireland, England - Hugh Cecil Charles Monahan (1914 - 1970) Oil on Board, Signed, Measures ( 11.5 x 15.5 inches ) w/frame ( 18.5 x 22.5 inches ) ugh Cecil Charles Monahan Hugh Monahan was born in Dublin, Ireland, son of George Monahan, a high court judge of the Indian Civil Service and his wife Helen (née Kennedy). So Hugh spent his early childhood in India. When it became time to send Hugh to school, George and Helen shipped him back to England to attend Stoneyhurst, a catholic boarding school in Lancashire. In the 1920’s travelling to India every year for Christmas and summer holidays was out of the question, so instead, Hugh and his brother James spent their vacations with a bachelor uncle “Harry” and a spinster aunt “May”, who lived together in the family home near Dublin. Characteristically, the boys named them “Uncle Dad” and “Aunt Hen”. Condition: The absence of a condition report does not imply an object is free of defects.
