WORKING GOLDSMITHS AND JEWELLERS' ASSOCIATION OF IRELAND
Dublin
WORKING GOLDSMITHS AND JEWELLERS' ASSOCIATION OF IRELAND
(From a Dublin Correspondent.)
The inaugural meeting of the above body was held on Friday last, at their rooms in Marlborough Street in this city ; Mr. John O'Clohessy presiding.
The rules for the future government of the association and explanatory of its objects, as prepared by the committee appointed for that purpose, were unanimously adopted. One of the rules provides for a benevolent fund in aid of distressed and enfeebled members.
This trade here had its guild or corporation established by royal charter many centuries back, and had its Goldsmiths' Hall in Golden Lane (whence it takes its name), and is at present carried on at the Custom House. Its privileges include the right to assay and stamp all gold and silver articles manufactured in Ireland (there being only three cities in the empire equally privileged); also the right to mulct by heavy fines any persons assuming the style and title of goldsmiths, &c, without being legally entitled thereto. As a consequence of the modern violation of this right by parties having no connection with the trade, the present association has had to adopt the prefix, "Working Goldsmiths,'' etc., in order that the public should understand their position in trade ; and it has been formed on the broadest possible basis, in order the better, not only to promote the individual welfare of its members, but also that which is of vital importance– the extension and development of the trade in Ireland.
For the ensuing twelve months the following officers were
elected:–Mr. J. O'Clohessy, President; Mr. Oman, Vice president; and Mr. Gilmore, Hon. Sec.; with a Committee of seven.
A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings.

SHANE (JOHN) O'CLOHESSY
Dublin
The 1901 Irish Census records only one family by the name of O'Clohessy, and there appears to be no doubt this refers to the same man mentioned as President of the Working Goldsmiths and Jewellers' Association of Ireland (see above post).
The census reveals the head of the family as Shane O'Clohessy as a 65-year-old, Dublin born Goldsmith and Jeweller, he is married to 56-year-old, Dublin born Mary Cathrine. The couple live with their two children, John Francis, 25, and Agnes Ann, 20-years-old. It is likely the family work together in the trade, Mary and Ann are just recorded as 'Family Occupation', whilst John Francis is recorded as 'Silver Engraver' followed by two words that frustratingly cannot be made out by myself, but one may possibly be 'Chaser'. The family's religion was recorded as Roman Catholic and they reside at 35, Summerhill, Dublin.
The 'House and Building Return', which is part of the census, reveals that the family of four adults live in just one room. On this form the 'Head of the Family' is recorded as John O'Clohessy, which it would appear likely was the name he was better known by.
The family do not appear to be recorded in the 1911 Irish Census.

Source: The Report and Adjudication of the Judges on the Exhibition of Irish Manufacture, Produce, and Invention - Royal Dublin Society - 1847
BRADFORD, S., Clonmel, Designer and Manufacturer. - Model of a cutler’s workshop; razors, in tortoiseshell, pearl, ivory, and horn handles; razor strops; pen, pocket, pruning, clasp, hunting, and sportsmen's knives; daggers; bowie knives; portable knife and fork, with transferring blades, &c.; bread knife, with carved ivory handle; case of veterinary instruments ; tobacco cutter, and cucumber slicer; skates, of improved pattern; large show knife and fork.
Source: The Irish Industrial Exhibition of 1853 - J. Sproule - 1854
The Clonmel Cutlery has achieved a reputation second to none in the world. The manufacture was at one time in a most thriving condition, and gave large employment to skilled workers of the best class. The English and foreign aristocracy—nay, royalty itself, were numbered amongst its regular patrons in the days when Sheffield blades were unheard of. The remnant of this great and creditable industry has still a most worthy representative in Mr. Richard Bradford, whose Factory is the oldest manufacturing concern in Ireland, and the longest established cutlers in the United Kingdom, if not in Europe. This house dates from the year 1646, and has worked without a single break until the present hour, Mr. Bradford having taken over the business in 1863. The employment given, in point of numbers, is not remarkable when compared with the large Sheffield houses, but in temper, finish, and lasting wear, Bradford's knives and razors are not surpassed by anything we have ever seen. The cutlery supplied from this house secured awards at the Great Exhibition held in London during the year 1851, Dublin (R. D. S.) Triennial Exhibition in 1844, and was also recognised at subsequent Dublin Exhibitions by gold and silver medals. The establishment had also the distinction of regularly supplying, by appointment, the late Prince Albert, and Napoleon III. The cutlery now exhibited, like everything sold by Mr. Bradford, has been manufactured from the raw materials on the premises, every portion of the process being performed in Clonmel. Mr. Bradford is also a manufacturer of fishing tackle, which he also shows.

Noted as winning an award at the World's Fair held at Chicago in 1893 for Jewelry, Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Work.
Alice Hart, formerly Alice Marian Rowland, was the wife of Ernest Hart, the co-editor of 'The Lancet' and later editor of the 'British Medical Journal' and a woman of many talents. Following a visit to Ireland with her husband in the 1883, she was touched by the plight of the poor in Donegal and resolved to alleviate it by the introduction of a variety of cottage industries. The Donegal Industrial Fund raised funds for the project and markets were found for the output via a London depot at firstly 31, New Cavendish Street, and later at 43, Wigmore Street, named Donegal House.
At the World's Fair she created an Irish village with people working at various skills.
Alice Hart's project was one of the most successful Irish arts and crafts ventures of the time.
