Despard

Thanks to Russell Woodward on new information about the Despard's but there is no immediate link with Colonel Despard who,for those who have forgotten an earlier post, was sentenced to be hung,drawn and quartered for treason.

I did wonder if it was his son from his marriage to a Caribbean woman but the first name is different. As they were all army people there may be a connection somewhere along the line. I am not very knowledgeable on these things.
