Haskins of Richview
Richard Haskins married Mary Fox
died circa 1754
Richard Haskins of Rosenallis, Queen County. He had a brother William and a brother in law,
Charles Brun.
1 Elizabeth Haskins mentioned in her father’s will.
2 George Haskins mentioned in his father’s will.
3 Charles Haskins born circa 1750. He was a clothier of Chamber Street and married
Mary Kelly of Castleknock on 11 Jan 1788 (ML). He was based at Summer Street from
1794 to 1812 specializing in army clothing and also had a dye works and oil crushing
facility at Mill Street. He was a church warden in St Catherine's in 1793. By 1799 they
were living at Richview and in 1808 Charles hosted his nieces wedding there (Mary
Haskins to Thomas Strong of Fassaroe). It was reported that they had four private
coaches for use of the family and many beautiful residences. It was announced that
Charles owed upwards of 100k in December 1812 and had put a stop on payments.
This immediately caused a number of companies to close up shop and let go
employees. He called a meeting of his creditors in January 1813. It appears he was
spectacularly broke and was declared bankrupt. All his property was put up for sale
including Richview on 35 acres, and its furniture. The Blue Bell Mills, Tenters Field,
Summer Street Wool Stores and Malt stores, the Manor Mills in Thomas Court and
land at Harold’s Cross and Rosenallis were also put up for sale. His assignees were
Ponsonby Shaw and Solomen Sproule. It appears he was spectacularly broke and
never quite exited bankruptcy. He tried to continue to trade and was at 9 Chamber
Street from 1818 to 1824 when he put the dyewood plant at Blue Bell up for sale. It is
thought that his daughters ran a boarding school for 12 girls at Woodbine Lodge, in
Blue Bell for a time from 1818, supervised by Mrs Mary Haskins. A final dividend was
issued to his creditors in 1822.
In January 1827 a subscription was raised for him as he had met with an accident and
was unable to support his numerous family and dependants. Over £200 was raised.
Charles died at Montague Street and was buried at St Lukes on 13 April 1827. Mary died
circa 1832.
1 Lucy Haskins of Summer Street buried 19 Jul 1792.
2 Richard Haskins born circa 1794 buried at St Lukes on 24 Jan 1817.
3 James Haskins baptised at St Catherines on 15 Jan 1803 was educated at Mr
Whites and graduated Trinity BA and worked as a private tutor in Ireland and in
Clifton, England. He qualified as a doctor in 1833 and emigrated to Canada the
following year with his sister and aunt. He married Mary Ann Everitt of Kingston
Township, Upper Canada in 1835. Mary Ann was the daughter of Daniel Everitt
and died during childbirth. He worked as a doctor and also wrote poetry. His
miscellaneous poems were dedicated to his sister Elizabeth. He died in 1845 and
“The poetical works of James Haskins” was published after his death.
1 Daughter Haskins was looked after by maternal relative after the death of
her father.
4 Rachael Haskins baptised at St Catherines on 20 Jul 1804.
5 Charles Haskins born circa 1809 graduated Trinity College and took Holy orders.
He opened a classical school at Ellis Quay in 1830. He later worked in Liverpool and
it is thought that he emigrated to South America.#
6 Elizabeth Haskins travelled to Canada with her brother. She died before his poems
were published.
4 James Haskins mentioned in his father’s will.
