Esmonde had three sons and three daughters from his first marriage to Rose Magennis whilst living in Ingleside, Pontesbury, Shropshire, England,[3] including:
Following the death of Rose in 1901, Esmonde married Eily O'Sullivan in 1904 and had seven more children.[3] The family returned to Ireland in 1910. A son from his second marriage, Eugene Esmonde, was awarded a Victoria Cross posthumously in 1942.[1] Esmonde's youngest son, Paddy, was awarded the Military Cross whilst serving in the Royal Army Medical Corps at the Rhine in 1944.
Death and legacyedit
On 17 April 1915, while serving as captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps, Esmonde died from "pneumonia and heart failure consequent on the strain of overwork".[1] He was buried in his family vault in Terryglass, County Tipperary.[4] Esmonde is commemorated on Panel 1 of the Parliamentary War Memorial in Westminster Hall, one of 22 MPs that died during the First World War to be named on that memorial.[5][6] A further act of commemoration came with the unveiling in 1932 of a manuscript-style illuminated book of remembrance for the House of Commons, which includes a short biographical account of the life and death of Esmonde.[7][8]
