The Common Room / Re: Old Chapel House Richmond Hill Leeds
« on: Tuesday 18 February 20 12:22 GMT (UK) »
The Old Chapel House, Richmond Hill was where Doctor James Francis Patrick Devlin (1892-1952) lived. He was originally from Omagh, County Tyrone, Ireland. He trained as a doctor in Dublin, and later practiced in Leeds. He and his wife Esther are recorded as living at the address on the 1939 England and Wales Register. My grandmother was his cousin. During the war, she went to stay with family, because Leeds was deemed safer, and less likely to be bombed compared to where she was living at the time. My grandmother was pregnant at the time, and Doctor JFP Devlin delivered my aunt.
JFP Devlin’s son John Devlin also trained as a Doctor. He took over his father’s practice.
