MacEnery left Torquay and his cave research in 1830. He never published and it was left to William Pengelly to publicise and explore his findings in 1859, years after MacEnery's death at age 43. John MacEnery studied for the priesthood in St Munchin's College, the Limerick Diocesan College then in Palmerstown County Limerick, where he was ordained in 1819. MacEnery retired early due to ill health following an accident and lived for a time in Rome and Paris before returning to Torre Abbey in 1838. He died on the 18th of February 1841, and is buried in Torre Churchyard, Torquay.
