Web - Portarlington Golf Club, Ireland - Margerie Mulvany - was hon. secretary of the Club in 1911. Her sister, Isabella, is also said to have been "one of the principal members of the Golf Club". Both were daughters of the late Thomas A. Mulvany, C.E., Barrow Bank House, Portarlington. Isabella married Dr. Vicars Maddison Fisher, Sutton, Dublin, and it is said that a feature of her wedding day was "the turn out of the caddies from the Golf Club who raised a lusty cheer". Dr. Fisher was the son of the late Vicars Henry Fisher, M.B., Portarlington, who resided at St. Germain - formerly a finishing school for young French-speaking ladies - now known as Manley's Hotel, Portarlington. (St. Germain was built by Dean Champigne in the 1700s).
