Madam, - I could not help noticing the contrast between the obituary of Ralph Slazenger, former owner of the Powerscourt estate in Co Wicklow, and that of Peter Osgood, soccer legend. Readers were given details of the Slazenger family's origins as late 18th-century Jewish emigrants from Silesia to England.
However, with regard to the late Peter Osgood, there was no mention that his late mother was a member of the Duggan family from Co Tipperary.
May both these great men rest in peace. - Yours, etc,
MICHAEL DUFFY, St James Road, Walkinstown, Dublin 12.
