Daniel Radcliffe Grandparents: Meet NN Radcliffe, Elsie
Daniel’s paternal grandparents are Elsie and Teddy Radcliffe. Daniel’s mother was birthed by a Jewish family who emigrated from Lithuania, Germany, Poland, and finally to England. Daniel’s maternal grandparents were Wilfred Jacobson and Muriel Jean.
Daniel Radcliffe’s parents are Alan Radcliffe and Marcia Gresham. Alan also happens to be an actor who was born in Northern Ireland in the United Kingdom.
His Jewish mother was born in South Africa, traces her ancestry to Jewish immigrants from Germany, Lithuania, Poland, and Russia, and was raised in the English town of Westcliff-on-Sea in Essex. His Northern Irish father was raised in a “very working-class” Protestant family in Banbridge in County Down.
Alan used to work as a literary agent but quit that job when his son got busy acting and needed someone to take care of his son.
