My great grandfather was the grandson of Robert Shaw of Terenure, which was an estate in Dublin. He is credited with founding the bank of Ireland among other things, and was one of those protestant family lines that were given a grant of land in Ireland for helping the King in some way. Anyway, my great grandfather's property in Foochow, China had a sign out front naming it Terenure. My grandparent did the same when they had a large home in Great Hallingbury in the UK and I have an uncle in Vancouver who has his small property named Terenure. I might do the same but my home owners association might not like it.
