Architect, of Cavan and Dublin. William Hague was born in January or February 1836,(1) the eldest of five sons of WILLIAM HAGUE[1] WILLIAM HAGUE[1] , builder, of Cavan, by his wife, Catherine.(2)   According to a letter which he wrote to Sister Mary Francis Clare Cusack in 1882, he was a pupil of CHARLES BARRY  CHARLES BARRY and spent four years in Barry's office.(3) After practising briefly as an architect in Cavan, he opened an office at 175 Great Brunswick Street, Dublin, in 1861.(4) He established a flourishing practice, particularly as a prolific designer of Catholic churches, designing or altering some forty to fifty throughout the country.(5)  Architect to Armagh cathedral during the 1880s and 1890s, when he went to Rome to select marbles for the building, he was granted a private audience with Pope Leo XIII, who 'imposed upon him an injunction to make such choice as would be worthy of the Cathedral of St Patrick's See'.(6)   His pupils and assistants included HARRY ALLBERRY HARRY ALLBERRY , DENIS JOSEPH BUCKLEY DENIS JOSEPH BUCKLEY , JAMES LOUIS DONNELLY JAMES LOUIS DONNELLY , JOSEPH KELLY FREEMAN JOSEPH KELLY FREEMAN , WILLIAM RICHARD GLEAVE WILLIAM RICHARD GLEAVE , HERBERT AUGUSTINE KEATE GRIBBLE  HERBERT AUGUSTINE KEATE GRIBBLE (designer of the Brompton Oratory), WILLIAM HARRISON HARGRAVE WILLIAM HARRISON HARGRAVE , THOMAS EDWARD HUDMAN THOMAS EDWARD HUDMAN , THOMAS ALOYSIUS BURKE LOWEY THOMAS ALOYSIUS BURKE LOWEY , THOMAS FRANCIS MCNAMARA THOMAS FRANCIS MCNAMARA , ARNOLD MITCHELL ARNOLD MITCHELL (7) and GEORGE PATRICK SHERIDAN.  GEORGE PATRICK SHERIDAN.

Hague had become a JP for Co. Cavan by 1885.(8) He died of pneumonia at his house in Upper Mount Street on 22 March 1899 and was buried at Glasnevin Cemetery on 25 March.(9) He was survived by his wife, Anne Frances, only daughter of Vesey Daly, solicitor, of Dublin, whom he had married at St Michan's church on 26 April 1876(10) and by whom he had two sons, William Vesey, the writer and philosopher, and Joseph Patrick Clifford, and four daughters.(11)  After her husband's death, Mrs Hague formed a partnership with his managing assistant, Thomas Francis McNamara,(12) which practised as HAGUE & HAGUE & amp; MCNAMARA  MCNAMARA until at least 1907.

The Irish Architectural Archive holds undated drawings by Hague for proposed additions to the Catholic church at Newbridge, Co. Kildare, in the Carberry Collection, Acc. 85/200.10/1, for a roof at the Convent of Mercy, Athy, Co. Kildare in the Carberry Collection, Acc. 85/200.17/3, for the Church of the Sacred Heat at Stradbally, Co. Laois, Acc. 95/111, and for Sligo Town Hall, Acc. 2004/128.
