Thanks. Do we have a first name for the bishop?

Thanks. I'm not seeing evidence of such a bishop with the last name Fitzgerald.

Thanks! His TCD career had many phases, Donegall Lecturer of maths (1770-1782, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donegall_Lectureship_at_Trinity_College_Dublin), professorships of Law (1784-1790), Hebrew (1790-?), vice provost etc, before leaving academia for parish work 1806-1819. Different times!

This man is of interest to me because of his mathematical leanings. Place and DOB of great interest, has anything turned up in the past ten years on those topics?

Carlow / Re: Webster family
« on: Sunday 01 September 19 05:39 BST (UK) »
I myself am interested in Margaret Agnes Webster who was born at Ballykeenan in 1888 to John Webster and Jane Dormer(?), she did a maths degree at TCD and married a man called Stringer, dying in Australia in 1955.
I am looking for some information about a family named Webster who moved to Co Carlow in about 1850 to lease a farm called Ballykeenan near Myshall. I know that there was Henry Wbester who was married to Agnes Low. Can anyone help me with either information from the 1851 census or 1861? Myself and another researcher have hit a brick wall and would appreciate the assistance.
Thanks

I do have a photograph of Angela Wilson. I can post scans here, if you are happy for me to do that.
That would be wonderful, or you can email me at colm at spelman dot edu. Many thanks!

I've got about 10 photos of the staff at the school from about 1936 to 1940, most with names
I seek photo of Angela Wilson (formerly Rainsford) who taught there. Is she featured? Thanks.

Dublin / Re: Franco Portrait Studio
« on: Wednesday 27 January 10 03:28 GMT (UK) »
I have an unidentified photo from the late 1800s(?), on the back of which it says:
The Franco Portrait Studios
15 Lr. Sackville Street. 6 Nth Earl Street.
111 Grafton Street, 46 Harrington Street
85 Talbot Street. 39 Mary Street.
Dublin
I guess it's too much to hope that there is a master list of clients somewhere:-)
I suspect the picture, which shows a woman in distinctive "Celtic revival" costume, is a Carroll from Clonee.
