You may be interested to know that a Mary St. George (c.1730-1795), daughter of Lieut. Gen. Richard St. George (1670-1755), married Capt. James Mansergh of Macroney, near Kilworth, Co. Cork, in 1749. She inherited Headford Castle in Co. Galway, where she established the Headford Lace industry. You can find more about that branch of the family on the Headford Lace Project website:

During the mid-1770s, Mary was living in Macroney and rented out Headford Castle. She died near Chester in England in 1795.
