Mrs Garnett.The Angler's Resort.

Mrs Garnett
Crampton Court
Dublin

                                             Memorandum pre 1900.

This company would reappear in the guntrade c.1932 and ultimately amalgamate with Keegan's in 1949.  Mrs Garnett being Paddy Garnetts widow.

Paddy Garnett having known to have traded in Bishop Street in c.1860 ( No directory evidence). He is also noted as having moved to Crampton Court.*


* George Burrows wrote a very interesting piece on the history of Garnetts and Keegan's in "Irish Fieldsports & Angling Handbook  compiled by Albert Titterington, B.Sc., M.B.A.. The Appletree Press Ltd., for Professional  Promotions Ltd.. Published 1984". 

The Garnett company, as can be seen, was more involved in the supply of fishing tackle
and gunpowder than firearms. The later link with Keegan's consolidating both these company's positions in the wider fieldsports market.

Garnetts and Keegan's , 31 Parliament Street, Dublin will be covered in various blogs in the future.
