From Grove Art Online...

Alfred Sisley was born into a family of Anglo-French descent, the second of four children following the marriage of William and Felicia Sisley

who were cousins. His father was director of a business concerned with

the manufacture of artificial flowers, which collapsed as a result of

the Franco-Prussian War (1870); his mother is said to have been

musical. Sisley inherited British

nationality from his father, but he made two unsuccessful attempts

(1888 and 1898) to become a naturalized French citizen. He lived in

France all his life, apart from the years 1857–61 when he was sent to

London by his parents to train for a business career.
