glassworks in Dublin 1830's to 1875

The managers and sometimes owners are often listed in directories. What years do you think your gggrandfather may have owned the factory ?

a glassworks and bottle plant is shown on the 1890s OSI map, located right beside where the bus depot is now - see :  Ringsend Rd, Glassworks    (select the Historic 25" map, to see the c1890s map)

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

I dont think that Glassworks was built until after the 1840s... you can see an earlier view (c1840) on the 6" OSI maps.

I posted details before on the various glassworks around Ringsend I could find in directories on another thread here on Rootchat ... I see if I can find it a post a link..

Cool thanks I'll have a talk with my dad tonight see if he can remember some more info

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.

Hi Babzi,
I have only just joined RootsChat and seen this post, hopefully you see this.

I am wondering if my family (and the brick wall I am trying to break through) may tie in with your family. My 3x great grandfather Frederick Carrick was a printer in Dublin, as was his brother Robert Carrick.
Frederick married Catherine Franklin in St Mary's parish in 1838, and at some stage they moved to England. I'm not sure when they moved, they were still in Dublin in 1841 and my great great grandfather Frederick Henry Carrick was born in Surrey in 1846, so somewhere inbetween those years. I have not been able to find the parents of Frederick, or any other children for him. Frederick Henry Carrick ended up in New Zealand where he married Marian Fowles in 1875, the announcement in the paper states he is the second son of Frederick Carrick of Dublin.
I know the family originated in Scotland and moved to Ireland, again I don't know when.

If these sound like they could be part of your family, I would love to try to work out the connection.

Hi Angel,

Thanks for your enquiry. John Macauley Carrick did have a brother but I don't know his name. His father Alexander and his brother were buried in St Thomas Church Dublin. Unfortunately that Church burnt down and he mentioned them on a headstone in Mt Jerome Cemetery.
I have never found any records of the buriels for that Church.

I have never found a birth record for his brother but John and his 5 sisters were all born in Scotland John born 1804. The whole family moved to Ireland I believe in 1823/24. John married Ellen (surname unknown) and their first child was born 1827.

The only other Carrick  Family in Dublin at the time was Michael and Robert Carrick. Michael was a broker and Robert was a Stationer. The earliest record I could find was 1829 Carrick and Sons Stationers at 29 Bachelor  Walk Dublin.

I don't think they are brothers but I'm sure they are family connected. When Robert Carrick married Eliza Murphy John Carrick was the witness.

John's father was Alexander Carrick a writer (lawyer) at the time of the children's birth. I think John his parents and siblings came to Dublin to be an agent for the Dumbarton Glass company. John's sister married into the family and John's business from 1835 was in the Glass business.

I don't know if this helps you. I have a copy of the record that shows Frederick marrying Catherine Franklin and as it was in the St Mary's parish where John and Ellen lived in 5 Mary's Abbey i'm sure they are family.

regards
Babzi
