The Irish Registration Act of 1843
Schedule B., 6&7 Vic.,Cap.74,Sec 3.
Licence to Keep Arms.
County Fermanagh
The following entries have been collected over a number years by myself, fellow collectors and dealers. In total over 1100 registrations from the 40 areas have been collated which is a very small sample of the 300.000 weapons the authorities had calculated were in circulation in private hands
at this time.
The list below gives all those weapons found registered in County Fermanagh between 1843-1846.
Listed are the county prefix, licence number, description of weapon/s and where possible the maker/retailer.
Samuel Wallace converted brass barrelled blunderbuss registered (F 7883)
Of interest from this batch of registrations are eleven Brownbess muskets. These having been issued to volunteer and militia regiments. Only regular regiments were exempt from the Act. The other five of the "six counties" also have high levels of Brownbess muskets.
Official House of Commons Returns 8th May 1846.
