Thomas Molyneux (statesman)
Thomas Molyneux, or Molinel (1531–1597) was a French-born English statesman, who held high office in Ireland during the Elizabethan era. He founded a dynasty which produced several distinguished members, and became the Molyneux baronets of Castle Dillon, County Armagh. Life Molyneux was born in Calais, which was the last English possession in France until the French seized it in 1558. His father was William Molyneux, or Molinel. Both his parents died when he was very young. An only child, he was raised by John Biskin or Brishin, an alderman of the town. When the French seized Calais in January 1558, he was taken prisoner, but freed after he paid a ransom of 500 crowns (the size of the ransom suggests that he had wealthy relatives). He moved to Bruges and there married Catherine Stabeort (or Salaboethe), daughter of Lodowick Stabeort, a wealthy burgomaster of the town. In 1568, after the outbreak of the Dutch Revolt made life in Bruges increasingly hazardous for foreigners, Moly ...

Sir Thomas Molyneux, 1st Baronet
Lieutenant General Sir Thomas Molyneux, 1st Baronet FRS (14 April 1661 – 19 October 1733) was an Irish physician. Life Molyneux was the youngest son of Samuel Molyneux of Castle Dillon, County Armagh, Master Gunner of Ireland and his wife Margaret Anne Dowdall, and grandson of Daniel Molyneux, Ulster King of Arms. His great-grandfather, Sir Thomas Molyneux, who was originally from Calais, had come to Ireland in about 1576, and became Chancellor of the Exchequer of Ireland.

Thomas Molineux (luthier)
Thomas Molineux or Thomas Molyneux ( ga, Tomás Ó Maoileagáin; – 25 January 1757) was an Irish luthier and maker of violins from Dublin. His instruments are some of the oldest surviving Irish violins, one of which is housed as part of a collection in the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin. Early life Very little is known about Molineux's early life. It is thought that he was born some time before 1700. Rev. Father Greaven, an expert on 18th and 19th century Irish violin makers, thought that he was a foreigner who had settled down in Dublin in early life. It has also been suggested that he may have been of Huguenot descendent. However, the name Molineux (or Molyneux) can be found in many 17th and 18th century records of County Dublin and County Laois. It is likely that Molineux was from a Church of Ireland family, either from Dublin, or originally landowners from County Laois, like so many other Irish luthier families of the time such as the Delany's, Perry's, Ward's and Wi ...

Life Born in Manchester on 14 May 1759, Molineux studied at the school in Salford, Greater Manchester, Salford run by Henry Clarke (mathematician), Henry Clarke. There he learned John Byrom's system of shorthand, and before he was 17 he became a writing-master and teacher of accounts in King Edward VI's Grammar School, Macclesfield. Molineux resigned from the school in 1802, and died in Macclesfield on 15 November 1850, aged 91. Works Molineux published ''The Elements of Short-hand: Being an Abridgement of Mr. Byrom's Universal English Short-hand'' (1791). It is a simplified representation of the Byrom system, with a few alterations. Molineux later brought out other works on the same subject, with engraved copperplates. One of them is partly written in epistolary form. Popular, they passed through about a dozen editions. Some are entitled ''An Introduction to Byrom's Universal English Short-hand'', and o ...

Tom Molineaux
Thomas Molineaux (23 March 1784 – 4 August 1818), sometimes spelled Molyneaux or Molyneux, was an American bare-knuckle boxer and possibly a former slave. He spent much of his career in Great Britain and Ireland, where he had some notable successes. He arrived in England in 1809 and started his fighting career there in 1810. His two fights against Tom Cribb, widely viewed as the Champion of England, brought Molineaux fame even though he lost both contests. The result of the first encounter was hotly contested, with accusations of a fix. The second, losing contest with Cribb, however, was undisputed. His prizefighting career ended in 1815. After a tour that took him to Scotland and Ireland, he died in Galway, Ireland in 1818, aged 34. Early life According to some of the chroniclers of 19th-century boxing, Molineaux was born into slavery in the State of Virginia, USA in 1784. The most detailed account claims that he was born on a plantation and that he took his surname from t ...
