William & John Rigby trained many of the well known gunmakers in Dublin
Daniel O'Connor of 3 North Srtreet being an example.
In the 1835 Trade Directory for Dublin no less than nine gunmaker's were ex employees of W & J Rigby. Namely: Joesph Anglin, John Aston, Martin Flanagan, Henry Harris, Edward McLaughlin,Thomas Quinlan, George Smith, Richard Tuite and Robert Willett. Many of these makers subcontracted work from the Rigbys and made guns/pistols to the "Rigby" style and design.
