  • Notes 
    • 2nd Baron Rathdonnell
      By 1879, the calls for Home Rule in Ireland were loud. Tom Bunbury, a product of his age, appears to have sided with those who wanted to retain the parliamentary union with Britain. He was an officer and before that, an old Etonian, as were his two sons, the eldest of whom Billy Bunbury would die fighting for the British in South Africa during the Boer War. In the early 20th century, Tom was one of the more powerful Anglo-Irish magnates in Ireland. On the eve of the Great War he was Chairman of the Leinster Unionists and President of the Royal Dublin Society. He was also sometime Lord Lieutenant of County Carlow. Locals knew him as 'Auld Rathdonnell'; his son and grandson referred to him as 'The O.B', probably meaning 'The Old Boy'.
      He outlived his wife by five years, passing away at the age of 81 in 1929. He was succeeded at Lisnavagh and as 3rd Baron by his second and only surviving son, Thomas Leopold McClintock Bunbury.
