Churchill Grows Up Poor? II

What is the most plausible way for Winston Churchill's family to be ruined into poverty before or around

his birth, without changing his genealogy or family history up Randolph Churchill's marriage but insuring

Winston is still conceived by his parents Jennie Jerome and Randolph (or who ever his biological father

really was.)

His maternal grandfather makes some bad investments. A lot of businesses went bankrupt during the Long Depression, wouldn’t be too hard.
