Sir Gonne Pilcher (known in our family as Uncle Toby) was an elder brother of my paternal grandmother, Thora Kathleen Forrester (nee Picher). His daughter Judith Pilcher married Robin Dunn (1918 - 2014), who became Sir Robin Dunn and was a Lord Justice of Appeal. I met him once at his home in Somerset in the early 1960s.

A Sir Gonne Pilcher, High Court Judge UK, born in 1890 and known to friends as Toby was the son of Major General Thomas David Pilcher (1858-1928) and Kathleen Gonne (1868-1919). Kathleen Gonne was a sister of Maud Gonne MacBride (1866-1953) a notable and much heralded English woman who lived in France and became an Irish revolutionary and the idyll of poet William Butler Yeats. Can you confirm if this Sir Gonne Pilcher is your Sir Gonne St Clair Pilcher? Patrick McGinley in Galway
