  • Notes 
    • NOTE 1./ Occurrences according to Donna Fratesi regarding the Lord Lismore and Lismore Castle connection:

      (begin paraphrased Fratesi) A Toronto Lawyer by the name of Proudlove posted Ads in the Toronto newspapers between 1906 and 1911, looking for "a son of Charles Richard Lizmore" who had died by this time. James Lizmore responded, and literally with passport in hand, was ready to go to England or Ireland to take over the inheritance or whatever he found there, since apparently he wasn't quite sure of what, when he died. Thus the responsibility fell to Charles Richard's other son, Charles David, to take up the quest. Charles David was extremely laid back and decided that the Canadian Lizmores were being sought out, only to pay back taxes and so refused to follow up.

      Donna feels that the Toronto area papers would still have a record of the Ad, looking for a son of Charles Richard Lizmore. This would still not tell you who was looking for them, however Countess Lismore, (surname O'Callahan) did die around 1900, and perhaps it took that long to probate the will and find someone to leave it to.

      Fratesi knows only of these revelations 2nd hand because it was the son of James, Wilfred Lizmore who died in 1982, that had some proof. By the time Donna got any of Wilfreds papers, a lot of the stuff had disappeared including all the certificates. Wilfreds daughter claims to have nothing else, and his widow ( 2nd wife for 2 years before he died ) took everything he had, but told Fratesi that she didn't have any certificates or anything else. (end of paraphrased Fratesi)

      NOTE 2./ The following is the 1881 UK census showing the turn of the century terminal line of the Viscount of Lismore, and the lands and holdings pursuant to Lizmore Castle. The following George (O'Callahan) Lismore had two sons that died in 1877 and 1898 without issue. This has no association at this point in time, but listed here only for possible future reference. The Seat of this family was at Shanbally Castle, Clogheen Co., Tipperary, with a London residence at 31 Old Burlington Street West.

      NOTE 3./ From: Coats of Arms from Ireland (O) Callaghan <<<http://www.araltas.com/features/callaghan/>>>
      Cornelius O Callaghan (1742 - 97) of Shanbally Castle, Clogheen, County Tipperary, was created Baron Lismore in 1785. His son was known as the 1st Viscount Lismore and his daughter was the mother of one of the Dukes of Devonshire, whose family owns Lismore Castle.

      NOTE 4./ From: Lismore Castle <<<http://members.aol.com/genealogy1a/lismore.html>>>
      Lismore Castle, the birthplace of Robert Boyle, the celebrated scientist whose name lives in "Boyle's Law"was also once the home of Sir Walter Raliegh. It is now the Irish residence of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. You can walk through the magical and very beautiful gardens, which are extensive. The gardens are set in seven acres within the 17th century outer defensive walls. Recently several pieces of contemporary sculpture have been installed in the gardens. It is a place where you can relax and stroll. Prince John built the original castle in 1185. The Estate was granted for a time to Sir Walter Raliegh. He sold the property to Richard Boyle, later the 1st Earl of Cork, who rebuilt the castle. The present owner of the castle is Lord Harrington, the son and heir of the 11th Duke of Devonshire. Lord Harrington's great uncle Lord Charles Cavendish was married to Adele Astaire. Fred Astaire, her brother, was a frequent visitor to the castle.
