Abraham George Haskins was born in 1856, and was still alive in January 1939. His father, Thomas Fitzmaurice Haskins (or Hoskins), born 1824, farmed the Coolkenno Hall estate in Wicklow (or Carlow), and married the daughter of Samuel Parke of Latouche's Bank, a Huguenot and Freeman of Dublin. Agh farmed Coolkenno Hall, and was a veterinarian, an organist, a hereditary Freeman of Dublin, P.M. of 228, and a member of the Royal Dublin Society. He sold Coolkenno in 1912, and retired to Dublin, where he experienced the 1916 Troubles. By 1932 he was living on independent means in Dun Laoghaire (south of Dublin). In 1934 he moved to Strathmore, the home of A. Sutherland in Carrick Hill, Malahide (north of Dublin) for nursing.

Founded in 1858 by C.W. Benson and Freeman Wills. A boarding school for a variety of prosperous Church-of-Ireland Irish boys, located in Rathmines, a southern suburb of Dublin. Closed in 1899 with the retirement of Dr. Benson, its only Headmaster. 2190 pupils in all. (Note: AE (G.W. Russell) entered in 1882; but Haskins added nothing to the printed entry concerning AE.)

Coolkenno Hall: (or Coolkenna, Coolkennoe). Landlords the Earls of Fitzwilliam (of Coollatin Park, Shillelagh, and Wentworth, Yorkshire) to whom AGH sold his rights. In the AA Roadbook of Ireland "Coolkenna" lies 3 mi NW of Shillelagh and 6 mi SE of Tullow (Co. Carlow). AGH gives Tullow as his postal address. He also mentions Aghold, apparently as his parish.
