Looking through my records here - I found a reference to the guild of Hosiers & Knitters who met in Tailors' Hall in Back Lane from 1783 to 1801. The Dublin City Archivist sent me a copy of two pages from the 'Directory of Historic Dublin Guilds' which should list the surviving records if any of the Tailors Guild. Some records exist for the Tanners & Weavers Guilds & they appear to be held at the National Archives & @ the National Library in Dublin. The Tanners Guild met in Tailors' Hall until 1841. Regards, Roger Finlay

Dear Roger, Do you know whether a shoe and saddle maker might have contributed to the Tanners' and Weavers' Guild? I do not suppose that there was a Saddlers' or Shoe Makers' guild in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Do you know where Tailors' Hall was located and is the building, or part of the building, still standing? Are the National Archives and National Library records on-line? Thank you! Sincerely, Brian Geary Immigrating ancestor: John Geary (b. 1789, Ireland – Sept. 4, 1873; Latrobe, PA (St. Marys Cem.))
