Montague Yeats-Brown
Montague Yeats-Brown CMG[1] was a 19th-century British Consul in both Genoa, Kingdom of Sardinia[2] and Boston, USA.[1][3][4][5]
Yeats-Brown was born in 1834 in Genoa in the Kingdom of Sardinia. His father, Timothy Yeats-Brown, from an English banking family, was the previous consul there;[6] his maternal grandfather John Cadwalader was a militia general in the American Revolution.
Yeats-Brown was appointed British consul to Genoa on the death of his father in 1857.[2] He later was appointed to consul to Boston, retiring from the service in 1896.[5]
In 1867, Yeats-Brown[6] purchased Castello Brown in Portofino, which he restored over subsequent years, and where he died in 1921.[7]
One of his sons, Francis Yeats-Brown, became well known for his dashing autobiography, The Lives of a Bengal Lancer.
