James Hardiman, who wrote the history of Galway, died on this day, November 13, 1855. He was born in Westport in 1782, the son of Tomás Ó hArgadáin and Marcella Hall. Irish was his first language. The family moved to Galway where his father had a ‘small but respectable shop’. He had hoped to study for the priesthood but he had to give up that idea when he lost his right eye in an accident. He studied law instead in the King’s Inns in 1804, became a solicitor in 1814 and worked in the Public Records Office from 1811-1830.
