that is a new one on me mate,?....... the other Esmondes with an E went to Canada & America, Esmonde is originally normans from flanders THAT CAME OVER WITH WILLIAM THE BASTARD to conquer ENGLAND there the ones they call the Royal Esmonde's that are in the peerage books that are his very old ancestors that had the WEXFORD CASTLE in wexford IRELAND that still stands today as a living history museum & botanical gardens.
For some reason his family took away the E in there sirname. maybe that had a feud as his father was a tenant on the Barron & Sir Esmonde's land in Ireland.
In Rushworth central victoria there is ESMONDE STREET after my side of the esmonde's......... the royal Esmonde's my GGF married a daughter of TOMAS ESMONDE that street was named after him when he & his wife were living in RUSHWORTH He died there & is in the cementary.
I live in GOORNONG & the rain has been crazy, instead of cold rain warm rain was hitting me as i was looking at the side open drains filling up fast the other day, & the humidity was unbearable to breath outside, if this is Queensland weather they can have it.
