Fascinating article, thank you.

Adds another piece to the history of the Persse family. Her father was Dudley Persse whose father was Robert Persse (1763-1850). Dudley's sister was Sarah Persse. Isabelle was married on 4th March 1880 at St Matthews Church of Ireland in Donnybrook, Dublin. One of the witnesses was her brother Algermon. Much has been written about the family in the book "The Great War And Beyond In Days that Were" by Gerry Kearney published in 2018.

My interest in the Persse family is that I have connections to the Persse family as my great granduncle Francis (Frank) Joyce married Arabella Eliza Persse eldest daughter of Burton Robert Persse D.L., J.P. My great grandmother was Harriet St George of the Tyrone House family who married John (Jack) Joyce brother of Frank. There are also other connections with the Persse, Bingham and Burdett families. The St George family of Woodsgift are also related to the Tyrone St Georges as various marriages have taken place between cousins.

Would Drinagh or anyone with such an interest contact me at urbangaeltacht@gmail.com to discuss this history please?
