• This is NOT a portrait of the 1st Viscount Guillamore since John Butler Yeats was not alive at that time. It is probably a picture of Standish Hayes O'Grady or Standish James O'Grady.

• The 9th and last Viscount Guillamore died 1955, title extinct [obituary, Limerick newspaper, 1955].

• I have met an old farmer in Newport, Co.Tipperary who seems to me (and others) to be the rightful heir to the dormant Viscounty of Guillamore. He has been told about the possibility, and is not interested.
• The Viscounty of Guillamore is an Irish-only peerage (created post-1801, NOT entitled to a seat in the House of Lords).
