Maybe not yours but it names family unit...

Of French origin this family settled in county Cork in the second half of the 17th century. In 1680 Robert Delacour married Ellen, daughter of Philip Cross and their grandson, another Robert, married Dorcas Norcott in 1764. Their eldest son was Robert De La Cour of Beare Forest who by his wife, Mary Baggs, had three sons, Robert of Fairy Hill, James of Sunny Hill and Hugh who married Katherine Stawell of Crobeg as well as a daughter who married Captain William Henry Herrick of Shippool. Robert Delacour was among the principal lessors in the parishes of Ballinaboy and Dunderrow, barony of Kinalea, county Cork, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. In 1820 James Delacour married Harriet G. Lombard, daughter and co heiress of James Lombard of Lombardstown. In the 1870s James Delacour of Mallow owned 4,507 acres in county Cork. His brother Robert Delacour of Fairyhill owned a further 717 acres and James' son, Reverend Robert W. Delacour of London, owned 872 acres.

I did find that a few weeks ago after doing a Google search. Shame there are no pictures and no forenames...

I appreciate your help hallmark. As you can see I am new to this forum. Sorry I don't recognise any of those names.

OK.... wasn't sure if you had other names or siblings!

Sometimes ones gets clues from other stuff!
The only additional info that I have (additional to that in my opening post) is that Edmund / Edmond Murphy may have been a Professor of Agriculture at Cork University. Once again I can't verify this story.

Thanks again Hallmark. I am beginning to think that the info that I have must be incorrect.
