Dublin / Re: Dublin Silk Weavers and Tallow Chandler

I notice that this was an old query, but for anyone looking in the future, I can recommend a book called 'Pomp and Poverty' A History of Silk in Ireland by Mairead Dunlevy and a two part paper back "Industrial Dublin Since 1698 & The Silk Industry in Dublin.
My family in Dublin were Dunne's and their last link to the Industry was O'Reilly Dunne & Co of 30 College Green Dublin and manufacturing took place in the tenements of Marks Alley. They were taken over by Atkinsons who at the time were located at 32 College Green Dublin.
