Biographies

O'GRADY, MICHAEL (1824-1876), businessman, politician and Roman Catholic community leader, was born on 16 October 1824 at Frenchpark, County Roscommon, Ireland, son of James O'Grady and his wife Cecelia, née Giblon. As a young man he went to London where he became manager of an insurance office. In 1852 he attended a public dinner for C. G. Duffy, who was impressed by O'Grady's ability. The friendship begun in London was continued in Victoria when in 1855 he was sent by his company to establish a branch office in Australia. After six months in Sydney he decided to settle in Melbourne.
