Brother William de Leny 1692-1760
Br William de Leny lived from 1692-1760. Very little is known of him and he is mentioned here to record something of that very large number of Irishmen who joined the Society abroad during the Penal Days.

We do know he was born in Dublin in 1692. He entered the Province of Paraguay in 1717. He worked first at the College of Buenos Aires 1720-1730, and then at Córdoba del Tucumán, whence he passed to that of Corrientes, 1736-1746.

He returned to Cordoba in 1746 where he died about the year 1760.
