He was the son of John, 2nd Viscount Netterville of Dowth, and his wife Elizabeth Weldon, and was born on August 24, 1635, and entered the Society at Venice, November 25, 1657. He was a nephew of Father Christopher and Nicholas Netterville, and a second cousin once removed from Father John Talbot and Archbishop Peter Talbot.
After his Noviceship he was sent to Piacenza to study Rhetoric, and then to Bologna where he read the usual course of Philosophy and Theology. He was ordained priest 1666/1667, and on the completion of his Tertianship was recalled to the Irish Mission.
He was on his way back to Ireland in the summer of 1669, but he did not join the Jesuits in Ireland, as he left the Society sometime shortly after.
Nothing certain is known of his later career. (He may be identical with “Jeremiah (sic) Netterville, Priest at the Sign of the Harpe in Cookes St” - cf Burke: Irish priests etc, p120)
