Wm Kavanagh Jnr. 11 Dame Street.



William Kavanagh Jnr
Gunmaker

11 Dame Street

Dublin

William Kavanagh jnr first appears in the trade directory of 1840 and  continues his listing through to 1849.
Thereafter, he is shown as trading from 12 Dame Street until 1863.
We have previously mentioned the fact that with the expansion of the city of Dublin this led to door number changes and here is another example. i.e., 11 to 12 Dame Street.

In addition, the Kavanagh family were also located at 4 Ormond Quay (Upper/Lower)
during the above period. There is some confusion over Upper & Lower as the Kavanagh's have been quoted as trading at both!(Directory). Contemporary confusion arising, no doubt, owing to Ormond Quay being flat!!

We are always pleased to receive information on the Kavanagh dynasty of gunmakers.
