The Irish Registration Act of 1843
Schedule B.,6&7 Vic.,Cap.74,Sec 3.
Licence to Keep Arms.
County Kerry
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 Kerry between 1843-1846.
Listed are the county prefix, licence number, description of weapon/s and where possible the maker/retailer.
Kerry is the least recorded county in this survey with only 951 licences having been issued (Current data). Three boroughs have lower recording i.e., Kilkenny borough (420); Waterford borough (445) and Limerick borough (665).
Official House of Commons Returns 8th May 1846.
Total returns Qty 1386
Please refer to our earlier blogs related to this Act.
We are always interested to know of other weapons recorded for the above areas.
