Personal life
John Coulson Kernahan was born in Ilfracombe, Devon to Rev. James Kernahan, M.A., F.G.S., and his wife Comfort. The third of four children, the boy had two older sisters, Elizabeth Ann and Mary Ann, and a younger sister named Comfort after their mother.
Kernahan was educated privately by his father and at St Albans School. James had intended for young Coulson to enter the church, but his son's "intentions were towards literature," which he followed by publishing pieces in American and British periodicals before beginning to write novels.
On 15 June 1892, at the age of 32, he married Jeanie Gwynne Bettany at St John the Evangelist, East Dulwich, Southwark, England. An author herself, Jeanie most notably wrote the Bed Time Stories series, collaborating with her husband and Dorothy Furniss as illustrator. She had already had a child named George K. Bettany who was born in 1892 and who became Coulson’s step-son.
They would later have a daughter named Beryl Kernahan, born 9 August 1896 in Essex, England. At their home on Frognall Martmeau Lane in Sussex, England, the Kernahans employed two female servants named Mary and Sarah Pallant as cook and housemaid. In the 1901 England census, Kernahan described his occupation as "author, editor, lecturer," adding the clarification "author at home, editor in London and at home," while Jeanie simply put "author."
