Life
He was born in London on March 11, 1807. Both his parents were Irish: John Doran, a native of Drogheda who survived the Irish Revolution of 1798, was captured by the French as a naval contractor. He was held in France for three years and acquired a French accent, which he passed on to his son.
In Margaret Street, Cavendish Square, a young John Doran was sent to Matheson's Academy. He was an orphanage before he was seventeen. In the early part of 1823, he was appointed tutor to the eldest son of James Murray, 1st Baron Glenlyon, who was fluent in French. George Murray, his pupil, travelled on the continent for five years. He was tutor to Lord Rivers from 1828 to 1837, as well as Lord Harewood's sons and Lord Portman.
Doran moved around the continent for two or three years after giving up his last tutorship and earning a doctorate in philosophy at the University of Marburg, Prussia. He returned to England and settled in St. Peter's Square, Hammersmith, and became a professional writer. He began as the literary editor of the Church and State Gazette in 1841 and died before 1852.
He became a regular contributor to the Athen'um soon after. He became closely affiliated with William Hepworth Dixon, the editor, and during Dixon's absences acted as his replacement. Dixon was editor for about a year in August 1869, after being on the death of Sir Charles Wentworth Dilke, Doran. Doran was appointed to the editorship of Notes and Queries on the retirement of William John Thoms.
Doran was born in Notting Hill on January 25, 1878, and he was buried on January 29 at Kensal Green.
