START: Fratesi continued e-mail:
Perhaps somewhere in all of that stuff there is an answer.
The last George had two sons who both died without having children. One
died in 1877 and the other in 1898.
The seat of the family was at Shanbally Castle, Clogheen, co. Tipperary with
a London residence at31 Old Burlington St. W. The 2nd Viscount's clubs were
Travellers' and Kildare St. Dublin.
They advertised for my grandfather's older brother , as far as I can tell
somewhere in between 1806 and 1811. James apparently made some move towards
going to either England or Ireland- he got a passport and then he died. The
next in line was my grandfather and he just let it ride and said they
probably only wanted him to pay some back taxes. He was a real laid back
kind of person and I guess between the Great War in 1914 and not so good
times after they kind of let it go.
The lawyer that advertised for James Lismore /Charles Lismore was named
Proudlove.
He was in Toronto. I only know these things second hand because it was
Wilfred Lismore son of James who died in 1911 that had some proof.]
He died in 1982 and nobody else cared about it and by the time I got any of
his papers a lot of the stuff had disappeared, including all the
certificates daughter claims to have nothing else and his widow (second
wife for two years before he died) took everything he had but told me she
didn't have any certificates or anything else.
