- Thomas Wallis
- Thomas Wallis (1649 – 1695) was an Anglican priest in Ireland in the 17th-century.
- Wallis was born in County Dublin and educated at Trinity College, Dublin. He was Dean of Waterford from 1685 to 1691; and Dean of Derry from 1691 until his death.
- Joseph Cox, 1879
- Joseph Richard Cox (1852 – 1934) was an Irish politician.
- From Kilmore, County Roscommon, Joseph Cox was educated at St. Mel’s College, County Longford. He became secretary to the Lord Mayor of Dublin. He was elected MP for East Clare in 1885, and was re-elected, unopposed, in 1886. Following the Parnell Split, he became an anti-Parnellite, and in the 1892 general election he was defeated by the Parnellite candidate, William Redmond. Cox launched an election petition, aiming to unseat Redmond, claiming corrupt practices and intimidation. The case was lost, however. Two years later he was declared insolvent, following the award of costs against him following the case. At that time, he had been acting as London agent for a wine company for several years.
