Please accept my apology for not replying sooner but I have only just discovered your request. Regrettably I cannot help you as I do not know if any records exist. You might try the Irish Pharmaceutical Union.

With kind regards,

Yours sincerely,

Eoin O’Brien

He died a throat incision event and then pnemonia. His death record states he died at Dublin Castle. He was a Dublin Metropolitan Police member from 1901 to 1916. An article mentions he died at Jervis on May 4th, 1916. Are the medical records or patient records available for Jervis?

His name is James Hetherton. (Heatherton / Hethertain)

James Hetherton
Birth Jun 20 1874 in Kilnaleck, County Cavan, Ireland
Death May 7, 1916 in Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland

My grandmother, Christina Wilson (nee Jessop) was an MPSI, as were three of her children.
We were always told she was the first female pharmacist to qualify in Ireland in 1900.
Christina Jessop was born in Dublin in 1879, trained in Furlong’s Chemist. She went on to work in the South Dublin Union (now Saint James’ Hospital) and it was there she met a young pharmacist from Cobh, Jack Wilson, who she married.

I am wondering if you would know if there are any historical records that would shed light on her qualification. I am also interest in finding out how and where did someone qualify as a pharmacist in Ireland in 1900?

I have searched on line but there appears to nothing in print on the history of the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland or pharmacy in Ireland but did see references to the history of pharmacy on this website.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Sincerely, Jim Wilson

Martin Fahy is the current Artist-in-Residence with the Waterford Healing Arts Trust (WHAT) at Waterford Regional Hospital. He will have an exhibition in Waterford Regional Hospital and the WHAT Centre for Arts and Health from September – October this year on the theme of the heart.

During his residency, Martin invited patients and staff in the hospital to share with him a story or memory of something that they had learned by heart. He worked with patients in the Coronary Care Unit, Cardiac Rehab Unit and Cardiology. Martin is incorporating these stories/memories into illustrations which he will present as prints for his exhibition.

Given your interest in the heart we would like to invite you to officially launch this exhibition on Thursday 13th September in the WHAT Centre for Arts & Health, Waterford at 5.00pm. I would appreciate it if you could phone me on 051-842664 or e-mail claireA.meaney@hse.ie to discuss this further.

For more information on Martin see http://www.waterfordhealingarts.com

I look forward to hearing from you,

Best wishes,

Claire Meaney
Assistant Arts Director
Waterford Healing Arts Trust
