Annie Massy
Annie Letitia Massy (1867 – 16 April 1931) was a self-taught marine biologist, ornithologist, and an internationally recognised expert on molluscs, in particular cephalopods. She was one of the founders of the Irish Society for the Protection of Birds in 1904.〔 Many of the details of her life are unknown which is attributed to the fact that she is often described as a shy and retiring person, with no known photograph of her in existence.〔
==Early life and education==
Very little is known about the early life of Massy, with no known record of her birth date or location.〔 From census records it would appear that she may have been born in Netley in 1867, although many presume she was born near her family home of Stagdale Lodge close to the border of County Tipperary and County Limerick. She was the third child of four to parents Annie and Hugh Deane Massy, descendants of Hamon de Massey. She grew up in Malahide, living close to the well known mollusc collecting location the Velvet Strand,〔 spending some time in Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow. She was probably educated at home, and appeared to develop an interest in nature from an early age.〔 She made her first contribution to Irish zoological records at age 18 in 1885 by observing the first pair of nesting redstarts in Ireland in Powerscourt Estate, Co. Wicklow. From then on, she became a regular contributor to the Irish Naturalist journal.〔
