Abstract
JOHN AMBROSE FLEMING was born at Lancaster on November 29, 1849, and died at Sidmouth on April 18. He was the eldest son of the Rev. James Fleming. His mother was a daughter of John Bazley White, an engineer who pioneered the manufacture of Portland cement in Kent. About 1856 the Fleming family moved to London and in 1863 Fleming entered University College School. He has recorded that he was always at the bottom of the Latin classes though quick at mechanics and science. Evidently in these respects he was nearer his maternal grandfather than his father.
