Several items were found about Lord Louth, but nothing specific (as of yet) has been found about Layd Louth; Eugenie.

Here is a short statement about their family history:

After their involvement in the wars of the 17th century, none of the Plunketts of Tallanstown were prominent in national affairs. They took part in political and public life only on the local, county level. The family's military tradition persisted into the 19th and 20th centuries. The 13th Baron, Randal Percy Otway Plunkett (1832-1883), was an officer in the 79th Highlanders in the 1850s. The 14th Baron, Randal Pilgrim Ralph Plunkett (1868-1941), was an officer in the Westminster Dragoons and the Wiltshire Regiment, and served in both the First and Second World Wars. The 14th Baron sold most of the estate soon after the 1903 Wyndham Land Act. He died in 1941, and his only surviving son, Otway, was briefly 15th Baron Louth before his death in 1950. The house and demesne at Tallanstown were also sold, some years after the estate, and the family settled in Jersey. Louth Hall is now derelict.

Thank you again Brita!!!
