  Well this tickled my funnybone ... his first wife's maiden name was Page-Turner ! Wiki - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Henry_Barron,_1st_Baronet "Sir Henry Winston Barron, 1st Baronet DL (15 October 1795 – 19 April 1872) was an Irish baronet and politician, who stood at nine different general elections."

  beachcomber australia His mother - this is a memorial to the 2nd baronet. This one is in memory of the 1st baronet.

  The memorials are both in Ferrybank Church, and there is a fairly long article here explaining the history of the church and the memorials themselves.

  Based on my almost non-existent Spanish, I think that the Marques of Pons was a cousin of the Barrons of Waterford. From the Spainish wiki on the Marquesite of Pons, Manuel Falcó y Escandón's mother was Carlota Maximiliana de Escandón y Barrón, who was a descendent of the Eustace Barron of Mexico mentioned on this plaque.
