Administrative / Biographical History

The Hon. C.W.More Smyth must have been the fifth Earl of Mountcashell; he was the Hon. C.W. More (Moore in Lodge's Peerage, but More in these documents), but assumed the additional Smyth in 1858, he having married in 1848 Charlotte Mary, only child of Richard Smyth of Ballynatray in co. Waterford. This brought him into intimate relation with Gertrude, Lady Dinorben, mother of Lady Neave, she being the daughter of Grace Smyth of Ballynatray. For these particulars, see Lodge's Peerage, etc., 1908ed., 1311.
