February 1874, in Kilkea , County Kildare, Ireland.[6] [7] His father, Henry Shackleton, tried to enter the British Army , but his poor health prevented him from doing so; instead he became a farmer and settled in Kilkea.[8] The Shackleton family are of English origin, specifically from West Yorkshire .[9] Shackleton's father was descended from Abraham Shackleton , an English Quaker who moved to Ireland in 1726 and started a school in Ballitore , County Kildare.[10] [11] Shackleton's mother, Henrietta Letitia Sophia Gavan,[12] was descended from the Fitzmaurice family.[9] Ernest was the second of ten children[9] and the first of two sons;[7] the second, Frank, achieved notoriety as a suspect, later exonerated, in the 1907 theft of the so-called Irish Crown Jewels , which have never been recovered.[13]

In 1880, when Ernest was six, his father gave up his life as a landowner to study medicine at Trinity College Dublin , moving his family to the city.[14] Four years later, they left Ireland and moved to Sydenham in suburban London.[15] This was partly in search of better professional prospects for the newly qualified doctor, but another factor may have been unease about the family's Anglo-Irish ancestry, following the 1882 assassination by Irish nationalists of Lord Frederick Cavendish , the British Chief Secretary for Ireland .[14] However, Shackleton took lifelong pride in his Irish roots, and frequently declared that he was "an Irishman".[16]

Should be 5d.

From early childhood, Shackleton was a voracious reader, a pursuit which sparked in him a passion for adventure.[17] He was schooled by a governess until the age of eleven, when he began at Fir Lodge Preparatory School in West Hill, Dulwich , in southeast London. At the age of thirteen, he entered Dulwich College .[14] As a youngster, Shackleton did not particularly distinguish himself as a scholar, and was said to be "bored" by his studies.[14]

He was quoted later as saying: "I never learned much geography at school [...] Literature, too, consisted in the dissection, the parsing, the analysing of certain passages from our great poets and prose-writers ... teachers should be very careful not to spoil [their pupils'] taste for poetry for all time by making it a task and an imposition."[14] In his final term at the school, he was still able to achieve fifth place in his class of thirty-one.
