I have family trees for GDE Plunkett junior and GDE Plunkett senior as well as Lamb (Stevenson) (scotland - and some very interesting history on the Gladstone (nee Lamb) immigration to australia) as well as Plunkett married Cambell-Kennedy.
I have some family tree of GDE Plunkett senior for Ireland - Michael Richard Plunkett then Richard Plunkett of Argkeenagh and then Michael Plunkett of Ardkeenagh / Cloonhansville - not at all complete and no guarantee of accuracy.
GDE Plunkett senior was my great-great-grandfather.
My great grandfather was Michael Richard Sarsfield PLUNKETT whose brother was GDE Plunkett junior. You may know they married 2 sisters Emily SMITH and and Florence SMITH who were their 1st cousins.
A few years ago I visited Dunsany Castle in Ireland. Lady Dunsany continually commented that I very much looked like a Dunsany Plunkett. As a thomas and an Australian I was very sceptical; so she took me into the portrait room where my wife and I were instantly convinced - all the portraits from the previous Earls all looked liked my family (males). Lady Dunsany pointed out that I most looked like the very large porrtait of Saint Oliver Plunkett (whose bishop's ring was was on display below the portrait.)
Happy to give you much other family tree information and would welcome any modern family tree information as would like to catch up with modern distant relatives .
