199 Group Captain Tighe’s eldest daughter recalls her father, late in life, telling some friends, “I have never been blessed with a man-child but I have compensated for this with seven son-in-laws”. Indeed his charismatic daughters, Ann and Elizabeth, certainly enjoyed their share of husbands. Ann was first out of the stalls when, in June 1948, she wed the 5th Baron Crofton. Their eldest son Piers was born the following year and succeeded as 6th Baron in 1974.[xxiii] The Croftons were divorced in 1962 and Ann married secondly the criminal barrister Robert Flach. Born in Vienna and educated in Australia, Flach made his name in such celebrated cases as R. v Myra Hindley, the Dixon and Tibbs protection gang, the Bank of America Robbery, the Bank of Scotland Fraud Case and the Pearlberg Fraud. In 1965 the Flachs had a son, Alexander Otto Stuart Flach. Archduke Otto of Austria, an eminent political scientist who many consider the rightful heir to the Hapsburg Empire, stood as godfather at Alexander’s christening. Ann’s third husband was Guy Brook of New York. Ann Tighe, as she calls herself today, lives in Wexford and is a sculptress of considerable repute. She has exhibited in Switzerland, Britain and Ireland. In 2005 she sold a bronze group to the Irish Enterprise Board for their Board Room. Her work can be seen in the Gorry Gallery on Dublin’s Molesworth Street. Tighe, Lady Ann (I669)
