Willet,Henry	1781-1810
Willett, Robert	1800	23 Eustace Street
Willett, Robert	1834/35	Bath Street, Irishtown

Please refer to our "older posts" with respect to the above gunmakers and their link with 22 Eustace Street and Samuel Wallace.

                          The latter Robert Willett (1834/35) is possibly linked with Wm & Jn Rigby.
