About this 3D model
Mary Tighe was born in Dublin to Theodosia Tighe, a Methodist leader, and William Blachford, a Church of Ireland clergyman and librarian. She had a strict religious upbringing, and when she was twenty-one she married Henry Tighe (1768–1836), her first cousin and a member of the Parliament of Ireland for Inistioge, County Kilkenny. The marriage is said to have been unhappy, though little is known.
