Biography:

COMERFORD, Richard Esmond (d 1818: Newry Magazine)

No records have been located for his birth, parents, or education. A manuscript note in the BL copy states that he died by drowning; this is confirmed by a notice in the Newry Magazine which describes him as editor of Dublin’s Patriot Newspaper. He died on 4 April after falling into the canal near Portland Place, Dublin, on his way home from dining with a friend. (Newry Magazine 4 [1818] 84) SR
