Hi Caroline - with respect to the Andersons.  I don't have a photo of Henry, but I think I have letters from him (not sure will have to check).  I think he is the only sibling apart from JT who had children.  There was a sister who was a teacher and had studied mathematics and astronomy in Ireland, graduating from Queens College (or was it Trinity College?) in the 1880s I think and a brother who was a Professor of Classics.

I am reading this thread with great interest as I too am a descendent of the White Spunners of Milltown Park. My great grandmother was Emily White Spunner and my grandmother was Rhona Clark. I am very interested to read that Exaltabit has portraits and contents from Milltown Park. I have inherited the books from Milltown Park through my grandmother. In the books there is a family Bible of Florence Carlisle's family. I was trying to figure out where she came from when I stumbled across this thread. I am hoping that I get a reply as this thread is pretty old!

Just putting some beef on this thread with some links, which you may have-

Emily Fanny Maria White-Spunner married William Raymond Clark in 1897 at St Nicholas Parish Church, Carrickfergus. He was a gentleman living at Kilballyskea, Shinrone, King's county.

You have been doing lots of research 
Granny’s father William R Clark died when she was 5 years old, she was always very sad about that. He died of pernicious anemia according to his death cert. Emily and the 3 girls eventually moved to Queen’s Park in Monkstown, Co Dublin to live with Emily’s mother. I am not sure when this happened but clearly after the 1911 census . Kilballyskea House was sold too. I am interested in figuring out more of the details.

Millicent Clark married Gilbert Marshall of Baronne Court, Co Tipperary. Rhona Clark married William George (Billy) Marshall, Gilbert’s younger brother. So 2 brothers married 2 sisters. My fathers first cousins were thus from both sides of the family.

Hi, WSC
Just adding a few more links and information if others might want to chip in (you probably will have these)-

Rhona Isabel Clark married William George Marshall on 7 July 1934 at Monkstown Parish Church, Dublin.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1934/08965/5244985.pdf

So they moved to Monkstown between 1920 and 1934.
