His son Nicholas Postgate, FBA (born 5 November 1945) is a British academic and Assyriologist. He is Professor of Assyriology at the University of Cambridge and a fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. The family is probably related collaterally to the Catholic recusant priest and martyr Blessed Nicholas Postgate (1596/97 – 7 August 1679) who was hanged, disembowelled and quartered at York in the aftermath of the Popish Plot, as well as to Michael Postgate who founded the Postgate School at Great Ayton where Captain James Cook was educated. The Australian writer and academic Coral Lansbury, the mother of Malcolm Turnbull, the 29th Prime Minister of Australia, was a distant cousin through the Lansburys.
