Thomas Marlay
Thomas Marlay (c.1680–1756) was an Irish politician and judge, who ended his career as Lord Chief Justice of Ireland. He is remembered chiefly for the rebuilding of Celbridge Abbey, and as the grandfather of the statesman Henry Grattan.
==Background==
He was born at Creevagh Beg, near Ballymahon, County Longford. His mother Elizabeth Morgan was the daughter of Robert Morgan of Cottlestown, County Sligo, and his wife Bridget Blayney of Castleblayney. His father Anthony Marlay was a recent arrival in Ireland from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, where Thomas's grandfather Sir John Marlay (1590-1673) had been a leading local politician, who served as both Mayor of Newcastle and its MP; he is chiefly remembered for his spirited defence of the town against the invading Scots army during the English Civil War.〔Wedgwood, C.V ''The King's War'' William Collins and Son 1958〕 From their beginnings as small tradesmen, the Marlays had risen rapidly to become among the wealthiest coal exporters in Newcastle.〔Henning , B.D. editor ''The History of Parliament: the House of Commons 1660-1690'' 1983〕
George Marlay, Bishop of Dromore 1745-1763, was Thomas's younger brother, and gave his name to Marlay House, which was built by his son-in-law, David La Touche.
