Maria Georgina Duckett

Maria Georgina Duckett was a notable figure in Irish history, known for being the wife of a much older husband and inheriting a vast estate. Following her husband's death in 1908, she moved to Raglan Road in Dublin, where she lived in squalor for the remainder of her life, devoting nearly all of her estate's proceeds to charity. Her life was marked by a notorious court case concerning her will, which famously left her daughter, Olive, with just one shilling due to familial disputes.
