Henry Deane Grady (1764-1847), was a member of parliament for Limerick in both the Parliament of Ireland and the Parliament of the United Kingdom.[1] His name is also sometimes given as O'Grady. He was born in Limerick about 1764, the son of Standish Grady and Frances Deane.[1] After studying law, he began his career as a barrister in 1787.[1] In 1794 he married Dorcas Spread of Ballycannon, County Cork; they had three sons and five daughters.[1] In 1821 Grady's daughter Amelia married Edward Chichester, Dean of Raphoe, who in 1871 succeeded as Marquess of Donegall.[2]{{refn|group=n|Sources vary as to whether the family's name is "Grady" or "O'Grady"; the daughter is listed elsewhere as "O'Grady."}} Grady was a member of the Royal Dublin Society, and a noted duelist.[2] He was elected to the Irish parliament for Limerick City in 1797.[1] Despite the potential political cost to himself, Grady supported the Union with Great Britain. In 1799, he wrote, "I suffer much in my expectations because, if I pursue my profession, I must remain in this country, and it is idle to say that an individual here, however industrious or intelligent as a barrister, unknown to the British minister in the Imperial Parliament, can expect that situation of which, as a member of the Irish parliament, time, zeal and fitness for judicial situation acquired at least through practice, might induce a reasonable hope...."[1] In the general election of 1801, Grady was elected to the new Limerick City constituency in the UK Parliament. He appeared at Westminster in November 1801.[1] He did not seek re-election.[1] For his support of the Union, Dublin Castle appointed him second counsel to the revenue board, with an annual salary of £1,200.[1] Disappointed in not having been better remunerated for his Unionism, Grady supported opposition candidates in the general elections of 1812 and 1818.[1] He died 8 September 1847.[1] Notes1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Arthur Aspinall, Grady, Henry Deane in The History of Parliament: the House of Commons 1790-1820 (2009) 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.rds.ie/cat_historic_member_detail.jsp?itemID=1100676&item_name= |title=Henry Deane Grady - RDS |publisher=Royal Dublin Society |accessdate=2 May 2014}} References{{reflist}}{{s-start}}{{s-par|ie}}{{s-bef |before = John Prendergast Smyth|before2 = Edmund Pery }}{{s-ttl |title = Member of Parliament for Limerick City |with = Charles Vereker 1794–1801 |years = 1798–1801}}{{s-aft |after = Parliament of the United Kingdom}}{{s-par|uk}}{{succession box | title = Member of Parliament for Limerick City | years = 1801–1802 | before = Parliament of Ireland | after = Charles Vereker }}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Grady, Henry Deane}} 9 : 1764 births|1847 deaths|People from Limerick (city)|O'Grady family|Irish MPs 1798–1800|Members of the Parliament of Ireland (pre-1801) for County Limerick constituencies|UK MPs 1801–02|Members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom for County Limerick constituencies (1801–1922)|Irish barristers |
