    It is "Shand, Mason & Co., London". Samuel Phillips was making fire engines by 1760; in 1797 the firm became Phillips & Hopwood; in 1811 it was James Hopwood; by 1818 it was Hopwood & Tilley; by 1825 Tilley & Co; and around 1853 Shand, Mason & Co. Merryweather & Sons Ltd acquired them in 1928.

    Here is Robert French the photographer in the 1911 census, in Ashfield Avenue, Ranelagh, with daughters Mary and Annie, and grandson Griffith.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Wow, Ticking the "Show all information" box, I see Children Born: 11, Children Living 8
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley Somehow "Landscape Photographer" doesn't do what he did justice! Do you think Mrs French was dead or away from home on census night?

    A little about him here - z9.invisionfree.com/royaldublinfusiliers/index.php?showto... - Signed on with the Royal Dublin Fusiliers in 1883; and subsequently for the 11th Reserve of the RDF in 1915; Regimental No. 1331
  • Niall McAuley said:
    In 1911, French is 69 and a widower. I can't immediately find him, Annie or Mary in the 1901 census.
