 Margaret Bulkley was born in Ireland: a bright, precocious child, she moved to London, with her mother in 1805 and there had access to General Francisco de Miranda’s library with ‘treatises such as might be considered to form a tolerably complete Medical Library for a private gentleman’. As her father had been declared bankrupt, she had no hope of a good marriage so it was decided she should go to university but this was not an option for a female.
-Taking the name of James Barry (after her uncle), Barry went to study medicine, at Edinburgh University, one of the most demanding and rigorous courses in Britain.  Barry graduated with a MD thesis dedicated to patrons, General Francisco de Miranda and [[David Steuart Erskine, 11th Earl of Buchan (1742-1829)]]. Then, even more extraordinary, after further training, Barry joined the army and travelled throughout the British Empire. There is no definitive version of Barry's adopted name.
