Dublin / Re: glassworks in Dublin 1830's to 1875

Sorry for delay. Took me longer than I thought to get up to my parents.

My dad has confirmed that he didn't own the glass works. His great grandfather owned the land where the current Dublin Bus garage is.

 He has also said that we had a connection to a Ice factory, can't remember the name but a friend of his has a book on Ringsend and said there was a reference in there. I will try get a hold of it.

Been doing a bit more research not sure if he actually owned it or was just high up in the chain. Just going from what my grandfather told my father. Apparently my gggrandfather had a  few problems and lost what ever standing we had in the area.

My father thinks it was around the 1840s. We where browsing the historical maps on the Ordnance Survey Ireland website which got me back to trying trace my family back a bit. He at first thought it was the one thats on the grounds of the old bus garage but remembers my grandfather mentioning a coal yard. He said the name of the yard last night so will ask again this evening

My gggrandfather owned one of the bottle factories in Ringsend. It's the one near where the current bus garage is and beside what was once a coal yard. Sirname is McDonnell but don't have his first name. My father says he can't remember, I'll try some of my uncles they might know. Is there away to check the ownership of companies from that period?
