Sinclairs of Co Longford

The Sinclairs of Co Longford

Back to other Irish Sinclair families

The Rev. Richard Hartley Sinclair was the Vicar at Cashel, Co Longford. In 1833 he asked for personal police protection from Dublin Castle because he needed aid from the police for his tithe collection, which was not complete. According to the Tithe Applotment Books, he held lands in Cashel in Cos Longford and Tipperary in 1827 and 1834.

His son, Sir Edward Burrowes Sinclair, M.D., was the King’s Professor of Midwifery in the School of Physic of the University of Dublin. He was elected a Fellow of the King and Queen’s College of Physicians in 1856, and knighted in 1880 for establishing a school for the education and training of soldiers’ wives to serve as midwives in the army.
