Edmund Dwyer Gray (Irish politician)
Edmund Dwyer Gray (29 December 1845 – 27 March 1888) was an Irish newspaper proprietor, politician and MP in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. He was also Lord Mayor and later High Sheriff of the City of Dublin〔Boylan, John (1998) ''Dictionary of Irish Biography'' p.153, 3rd.ed. ISBN 0-7171-2507-6〕 and became a strong supporter of Charles Stewart Parnell.〔
== Early life and family ==
Gray was born on 29 December 1845 in Dublin, the second son of Sir John Gray and his wife Anna Dwyer. After receiving his education, he joined his father in managing the ''Freeman's Journal'', the oldest nationalist newspaper in Ireland. When his father died in 1875, Gray took over proprietorship of the ''Journal'', and his family's other newspaper properties such as the ''Belfast Morning News'' and the Dublin ''Evening Telegraph''.〔G. B. Smith, (‘Gray, Edmund Dwyer (1845–1888)’ ), rev. Alan O'Day, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2006, accessed 7 May 2008.〕
In 1868, Gray saved five people from drowning in a wrecked schooner at Killiney Bay, an action for which he received the Tayleur Fund Gold Medal for bravery from the Royal Humane Society. By coincidence, the rescue was witnessed by his future wife, Caroline Agnes, who he would meet shortly afterwards.〔(Edmund Dwyer Gray Album ), ''NUACHT Leabharlann Náisiúnta na hÉireann'' (National Library of Ireland NEWS), Spring 2005.〕 Agnes was the daughter of Caroline Chisholm (an English humanitarian renowned for her work in female immigrant welfare in Australia), and although Gray was descended from a Protestant family, he converted to Catholicism to marry her in 1869.〔 The couple had one son, Edmund Dwyer-Gray, who would take over from his father as proprietor of his newspapers and would go on to become Premier of Tasmania.
