Biography

Rev. Thomas Meredith (1777-1819)
Rev. Thomas MEREDITH was born ca. 1775 in Dublin, Ireland
G.
3 He and
Elizabeth Mary GRAVES were married on 7 Jul 1807 in Dublin, Ireland
G. He died on 2 May 1819 in Ardtrea, Co. Tyrone, Ireland.
4 He was an Anglo-Irish clergyman, Doctor of Divinity, Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, and a mathematician. He is best remembered for his association with the poet Charles Wolfe and as the subject of a ghost story related in True Irish Ghost Stories and Memorials to the Dead. (Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Meredith)
He served as rector of Ardtrea, Diocese of Armagh, County Tyrone, Ireland. The entry for him in "Alumni Dublinensis" (1863) notes that he entered TCD 2 May 1791, age 16; son of Ralph, Pragmaticus (solicitor); born Dublin; Sch 1793, BA 1795, Fellow 1805, MA est 1805, BD 1811, DD est 1812. [died 27 Apr 1819].
The date of death in this entry appears to be incorrect, as several sources give 2 May 1819, including his death announcement in Freemans Journal and the monumental inscription in Ardtrea Church.

The following is an excerpt from the obituary for his son, published in the London Free Press, 29 October 1945:
[Meredith] was a family name well known in this city almost since its beginning, and for many years, as the result of the attainments of the group of brothers, one of the most prominent in the Dominion. The Merediths, originally Welsh, entered Ireland about 1600. John Cook Meredith, father of Thomas G. Meredith and his seven brothers and four sisters, was early in his life seized with the wander-spirit of youth. Although the son of a Dublin solicitor and a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, he elected a backwoods farm near what is now Glanworth as the arena in which he would work out his future. He crossed the Atlantic in 1834.
Subsequently he was deputy collector of customs at Port Stanley, became market clerk here when London was a town of 5,000 and in 1847 became clerk of the Division Court of Middlesex, a position he held until his death, a victim of the Victoria disaster on the Thames River. He was married to Miss Sarah Pegler.

His obituary appeared in the Belfast News-Letter of 22 October 1888 (pg. 5) as follows:
“Mr William Rice Meredith, a highly esteemed member of the solicitors’ profession, died on Saturday in Dublin. His advanced age and declining health induced him to retire some few years ago from the active practice of his profession, and his business, which was at one time considerable, devolved upon his son. He conducted in his time several cases of great public interest, notably the litigation on behalf of Rev. Mr. O’Keefe against Cardinal Cullen and Bishop Walsh. Mr. Meredith was a man esteemed for his integrity and principle, and he has left his good name as a heritage to his sons, three of whom are well known in legal circles, and one in particular as a leading member of the junior bar.”.
