Genealogies
[Rev
William Hickey ("Martin Doyle"), well-known for his efforts to
elevate the condition of the peasantry of Ireland, was eldest son of Rev
Ambrose Hickey, rector of Murragh, co. Cork. He was born about 1787, graduated
at St John’s College, Cambridge, and subsequently took the degree of M.A. in
the University of Dublin. He was ordained a clergyman of the Established
Church in 1811, and appointed to the curacy of Dunleckny, co. Carlow. In 1820
he was inducted into the rectory of Bannow, co. Wexford, and in 1834 to
Mulrankin, where he ministered the remainder of his life. As a parochial
clergyman he was esteemed alike by Catholics and Protestants. He commenced his
career as a writer in 1817, his first work being a pamphlet on the State of
the poor in Ireland. Afterwards followed a series of letters under the
pseudonym of "Martin Doyle," under which he continued to write. He
wrote numerous works; his latest production, published a few years before his
death, was Notes and Gleanings of the County of Wexford. In all his writings
he took the broadest philanthropic views, studiously avoiding religious and
political controversy. He was awarded a gold medal by the Royal Dublin
Society, in recognition of his services to Ireland, and enjoyed a pension from
the Literary Fund. He was a man of an eminently charitable and feeling nature,
and died comparatively poor, 24 October 1875, aged 87.]

The
O’Hickey’s were formerly chiefs of a district in the vicinity of Killaloe,
County Clare, also of a cantral in the barony of Upper Connelle, in the County
of Limerick. They were hereditary physicians to the O’Briens, Kings of
Thomond; to the MacNamaras, lords of Hy-Caisin; and to the O’Kennedys of
Ormond; and several of them are said to have compiled and translated valuable
medical works, amongst others Nichol O’Hickey, the translator into Irish of
a Latin Medical Work called "The Rose," known also as the "Book
of the O’Boulgers." The O’Hickies possessed a copy of "The
Lily,"
a
celebrated Medical Work, compiled in AD 1304, of which several transcripts are
known to exist.
