A fellow tailor descendant! I am looking for info on tailors in Dublin during the same period. My O'Byrne family were tailors by trade. I haven't found that treasure trove of info from the Guild yet, but I'll share anything that comes along. Please keep me in mind if you find anything during your travels. I hope to visit Dublin sometime in 2007. Maybe I can pick up where you leave off!

My G-G-Grandfather was EDWARD BURKE.On his discharge papers from the army Edward was described as a tailor aged 19 on his enlistment in Dublin in 1846. He was also said to have been born in the St. Paul's parish of Dublin. On Edwards marriage certificate from 1854 in Birmingham his father WILLIAM BURKE is also listed as a tailor but already deceased by that time. I'm aware the Tailors Guildhall is still standing in Dublin but does anyone know if records for the guild still exist and if so, where they are and what kind of information is in them? If not, can anyone think of any other source of information that might be useful in my quest to find out any more about Edward & William or discover other family members? I am going to Dublin in November and I will have time for some research so my question is really to help prepare for that visit. Many thanks in advance for any info or advice.

Ditto for tailor descent, same time frame. Ours were STEVENSON from Co. Antrim. I'm interested to hear of any way of tracing through the guild hall. I WAS in Dublin in May - didn't check Guild Halls though!

Hello Adriana As you refer to the 'treasure trove of info' from the tailors guild, can I assume from that that you know the records of the guild still exist? If so do you have any additional information which will help me in my search for Edward & William, as well as your ancestors if I get chance?
