JOHN LITTLE, Bottlemaker, Dublin

[little alison]

I've posted about John Little from Dunbarton in that thread, but he was also in Dublin at some point and we have a photo from Stanleys of him and his wife Janet.
(any info on Stanleys ? - prob late 1800s)

He is in my uncle's memoirs as having moved to Dublin and "was able to start or acquire a firm making glass bottles, his principal customer being Guinness"   (Fred Little)
                             .......anyone with any info, esp as to when?

not sure this this fits the timeframe you have, but Thom's 1894 directory of Dublin lists the following :

  John Little, bottle manufacturer, Ringsend

Ringsend is to the east of Dublin city, on the coast.

not sure what you mean by the Stanley question - is this a photographer or family member ?

Think I answered this in the wrong thread.
Stanley - the name of the photographer one the photo. ok?

Is there any more than just Stanley ?

maybe part of an address, first name or name of studio...

Sometimes additional information can be found on the back of photo's or on the surround (under the frame).

1911 census lists several Littles who were bottlemakers but differencet religions so perhaps not all connected - use advanced search option for Lit*(surname) Dublin (county) and bottle* (occupation).

The only photographers that I see listed in Dublin at the moment with Stanley in the name is :

   J.E. Stanley & Lauder Bros. photographers
    22 Westmoreland St., Dublin

The first listing that I have for the combined business is in 1914, and they operated at least until 1927. Lauder brothers had several studios around Dublin since the 1870s, and in later years also operated under the business name of Lafayette.

In earlier listings (before about 1914) their businesses are listed under the name Lauder, Lauder bros or LaFeyette, with no mention of Stanley.

Thankyou! We already knew about Lauders/Lafayette, we have a couple of later pictures by them.
This must put this photo rather earlier than I thought. No idea how long Stanleys went on after 1827?

I already was considering that maybe John Little (One) was in Dublin early on. We had thought he was in his 40s, which would make the photo date at least 1852. May not be right.

that's 1927...
