Martin Windsor was born Martin Page, the son of an Irish man named Fred Page. I know little about him, except that he married my mother in the 1950s at Colchester cathedral - he was a guardsman in the Coldstream Guards at the time. She left him in 1959 because he used to drink a lot and beat her. They had 2 children, Martyn (born 1956), and Lee (female, born 1958, although she died as a baby). My half-brother Martyn looks very much like his father, although he doesn't sport a beard!
