Henry Stewart O’Hara (1843–1923) was an eminent Church of Ireland priest[1] in the last decades of the 19th century and the early ones of the 20th.[2]

O’Hara was born on 6 September 1843 into an ecclesiastical family: his father was for many years Rector of Coleraine,[3] a post he himself was to hold from 1869 to 1894. Educated at Leicester Collegiate School and Trinity College, Dublin he was Vicar of Belfast from 1894[4] (and its first dean) [5] until around the start of the 20th century. He was then Bishop of Cashel, Emly, Waterford and Lismore,[6] until his retirement in 1919.[7]

He died on 11 December 1923.[8] He had married Hatton Thomasina, the daughter of Thomas Scott of Willsboro. [9]
