Patrick Street.

Andrew Richardson* was listed originally by M.S. Dudley Westropp and appears in his handwritten list that resides in the National Library of Ireland annex in Kildare Street, Dublin. However, the page covering the 1846 Pigot's Directory has been omitted from the well known J.A.A.S 1957 list? This possibly occurring due to the difficulty in reading the small ink text?

William Richardson, gunmaker,  is also listed in Patrick Street, Kilkenny circa 1824. The connection between them i.e., father and son or brothers has yet to be established.
