Thomas Rumley

Thomas Rumley (c. 1792 – March 1856)[2] was the president of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) in 1841.

On 25 June 1815, he passed the Licentiate at RCSI, and on 9 November 1818, he was elected a Member.

In 1832 Rumley and A. Stokes were deputed to investigate a case of supposed cholera at Kingstown.

The inhabitants were annoyed that their town should be pronounced infected with cholera, and an infuriated mob attacked Stokes and Rumley, who narrowly escaped with their lives.

[2] Having long suffered severely from gout, he died at his residence, 37 York-street, in March, 1856, and was interred on the 30th of that month in Glasnevin Cemetery.
