Brabazon Disney

Brabazon William Disney[1] was an Irish Dean[2] in the middle of the 19th century.[3]

Disney was born in County Louth on 13 July 1797 and educated at Trinity College, Dublin.[4] He held incumbencies at Siddan, Stackallan and Inishmot before becoming Archdeacon of Raphoe in 1835,[5] a post he held for ten years until he became Dean of Emly.[6] In his spare time he compiled an eight-volume collection of his sermons.[7] He was Dean of Armagh[8] from 1851 until[9] his death on 20 December 1874.[10]

There is a memorial to his wife Anna on the wall of the north transept of St Patrick's Cathedral, Armagh.[11]
