George Evans-Freke (Lord Carbery), 1810-1889 - an Irish Deaf member of the gentry. Educated in the Paris Deaf school and lived in Bandon, Co Cork (as well as London). Because he was Deaf he was unfortunately not permitted to manage his estate by himself - a group of Trustees managed it for him. He was from a Protestant family but contributed to the Catholic Institute for the Deaf, as well as the St Saviours church for the Deaf in London.
