The Irish Registration Act of 1843
Schedule B.,6&7 Vic.,Cap.74,Sec 3.
Licence to Keep Arms.
County Kildare
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 Kildare between 1843-1846.
Listed are the county prefix, licence number, description of weapon/s and where possible the maker/retailer.
Although the above sample licence was issued in County Wexford it shows the
layout of the first page of the licence.
As can be seen there are three columns. The first being for "Guns". The second for "Pistols" and the third for, " Any Other Description of Arms, naming them".
In the above Kildare list of registrations, KD 3396 was issued for the possession of a
26" bronze cannon which would have been entered in the third column.
Official House of Commons Returns 8th May 1846.
We are always pleased to know of other weapons registered in County Kildare.
