Georgina Alicia Sartoris nee Lyster from an oil painting by Buckner
Julius Alexandre Sartoris.
Julius Alexandre (Jules) Sartoris the youngest son of Urban Sartoris, a banker and Matilda
Tunno of Seaux, Paris was baptised in Paris on 22 Nov 1831. He was living at Hoppesford
Hall, Coventry and held a commission as Captain in the 16th Lancers in 1854. He resigned
his commission on his marriage to Georgina Alicia Lyster, daughter of Anthony Lyster of
Stillorgan Cottage in Stillorgan Grove on 12 Sep 1854 at St James' Church London. A second
marriage ceremony was reported as having taken place in Stillorgan Parish Church on
10 Oct 1854 but this is not noted in the Marriage Register. They moved into Lindon Castle
beside Stillorgan Cottage in 1863. Julius was certified insane in 1859 and a ward of chancery
after a fall from a horse while hunting in Leicestershire which left his brain compromised.
A happy and gentle person with bouts of bewilderment, he was minded by his family, a
butler and a medic. He died jumping off the parapet of the tower of Linden Castle. He
landed on the portico and Doctor Pollock was called. Jules was hauled back up to the
parapet and died fourteen hours later from a fractured skull. His death was reported as
suicide by some newspapers but the coroner just called it death from jumping from a roof
while in a state of insanity. He died 2 Aug 1863 and was buried in the Lees vault at
Monkstown Church.
Georgina lived between London and Stillorgan Cottage after the death of her husband.
She died aged 91 at Addington House, Winslow, Bucks on 3 Jan 1919. There is a memorial
to Jules and Georgina at Stillorgan Church. The couple had three daughters.

published a 'A Sentimental and Practical Guide to Stonehenge'. Stonehenge was on land
