John Brinkley (astronomer) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Brinkley (astronomer) The Rt. Rev. John Mortimer Brinkley DD HFRSE (ca. 1763 in Woodbridge, Suffolk14 September 1835 in Dublin) was the first Royal Astronomer of Ireland and later Bishop of Cloyne. He was President of the Royal Irish Academy (1822–35), President of the Royal Astronomical Society (1831–33) and awarded the Copley Medal in 1824. ==Early years== Brinkley was born in Woodbridge, Suffolk and was baptised there on 31 January 1763, the illegitimate son of Sarah Brinkley, a butcher's daughter. On being admitted to Cambridge, he was recorded as being the son of John Toler Brinkley, a vintner, but it is strongly suggested that his real father was John Toler, 1st Earl of Norbury, Chief Justice of the Irish Court of Common Pleas.〔Venn, John, ('Brinkley, John' ), ''Biographical History of Gonville and Caius College 1349-1897'', vol. ii, pp. 107-8. Cambridge University Press, 1898.〕 His exact date of birth is unknown; he has often been assigned the birth year 1763, as at least one obituary gives his age at death in 1835 as 72.〔''Gentleman's Magazine''. November 1835, p. 547.〕 However, his memorial at Trinity College, Dublin states that he died aged 70; also, he was recorded as being 17 upon matriculation at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge in August 1783, both of which imply a slightly later birth year.
