Life
[edit]Born in Limerick on 7 April 1831, Fogerty's parents were Elizabeth and John Fogerty, a civil engineer. He was the brother and uncle of architects William Fogerty and John Frederick Fogerty, respectively.[1]
Fogerty studied under his father in Limerick before entering the University College London in 1856 to study civil engineering.[1] He worked on the Severn Valley, London metropolitan railways as a surveyor,[2] as well as the Much Wenlock, and the Coalbrookdale and Craven Arms lines. Fogerty was elected a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1863.[3]
Later, he worked in London for Sir John Fowler.[1] From 1865, he worked as an architect, constructing factories, water and steampower mills in Ireland, private houses around London,[3] and designing an elevated railway in Vienna.[2] He was elected Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects on 9 February 1880 after being proposed by Henry Currey, Edwin Nash and Charles Barry.[1]
He was also an author, with three of his novels, Lauterdale, Caterina and Countess Irene, being published.[2]
Fogerty died at his house, Enderby, in Sydenham on 2 September 1899.[1] He married Hannah Cochrane (died 1910), of Limerick and they had a daughter, Elsie Fogerty (born in Sydenham on 16 December 1865), who became a notable teacher of speech.[4]
