Thomas Donough

Gun Furnishing Warehouse

2 Essex Quay

Dublin.

This company appears in the Pigot's Dublin trades  directories for the years 1831 & 1832 therefore we can assume they commenced  in 1830. The address of 2,Essex Quay is the earlier trading address for Michael Murphy, Gunmaker/Inventor c.1824. Please refer to our blog of 24/12/2016.

The goods on offer from this company are not fully documented but were possibly foundry related items? viz; brass and steel castings.

This company was yet another short lived venture which seems to typify the Dublin guntrade during this period as it slowly entered terminal decline.

We are always interested in any material related to the early Irish guntrade.
