WILLIAM O'KELLY
Wood Quay, Dublin
A Dublin Correspondent sends us the following :–"In the Northern Divisional Police Court here, recently, William O'Kelly, of Wood Quay, and Hannah O'Kelly, his wife, were charged with illegally pawning watches entrusted to them. The male prisoner, a watchmaker and jeweller, was in the habit of receiving watches from private customers for the purpose of cleaning them, &c. Several persons who had thus entrusted watches to him could not " get sight of him " when they called. At last, complaint was made to the police, and on inquiry it was ascertained that both the male and female prisoners were in the habit of pawning watches at the various establishments in the City. Four more watches were now produced by the police, recovered from pawnoffices and identified by customers. The tickets were found at the prisoner's residence. Several other persons were in court seeking to recover property thus lost. The Magistrate, in granting a remand for the purpose of obtaining further information, permitted the female prisoner to be held to bail, remarking that probably any jury before which the case would be taken, would hold that the wife was acting under the coercion of her husband. A doubt having been expressed as to the prisoner's marriage, Mrs. O'Kelly, who was much agitated, stated that she was married at St. Mary's Chapel."

BERINGER BROTHERS
36, North Street, Belfast
Another German originated family that arrived in Belfast via Cornwall. Fidel Boehringer (b. 1777), a clockmaker, started his journey from Neustadt, near Freiburg, in the Black Forest region of Germany arriving at London in 1822 before making his way to Cornwall to set up business. Fidel, who at this time had anglicised his name to Beringer, had eleven children, many of whom went into the clockmaking trade as well as opening jewellery shops and opticians all over Cornwall during the 19th century, most noteablely at Redruth where the business traded continuously from 1832 to 1995.
Fidel's grandsons, Matthew, John, and Joseph appear to have arrived at Belfast in mid Victorian times and this would appear to be the origins of the Beringer Brothers firm.
The 1901 Irish Census records Joseph Beringer as a 49 year old German born Watchmaker, he is married to 43 year old German born Josephine. The couple have three sons and three daughters living with them, Joseph 15, Paul 12 ,Josephine, Alfred 5, Albertina 3, and Wilhelmina 2 years of age. Also present is Joseph's brother, John, who is recorded as a 58 year old unmarried German born Clockmaker. Joseph jnr. is also recorded as a Watchmaker. The family reside at 28, Vicinage Park, Belfast and their religion recorded as Roman Catholic.
The 1901 Irish Census records Matthew Beringer as a 63 year old German born Clockmaker and Jeweller, he is married to 53 year old German born Johanna. The couple live with their nine daughters, Teresa 24, Roseline, Elisabeth 20, Caroline 18, Sophie 16, Wilhelmina 14, Emma 12, Hilda 10, and Lydia 5 years of age. The family reside at 12, The Mount, Belfast and their religion recorded as Roman Catholic.
The 1911 Irish censuses provide little further detail of interest regarding Matthew, John, and Joseph, but does have note of another Beringer in the trade that may be connected with the business.
The 1911 Irish Census records Frederick Beringer as a 55 year old English born Watchmaker, he is married to 58 year old English born Elizabeth, the couple live with three of their children, John 26, Helena 20, and Elizabeth 16 years of age. The family reside at 36, High Street, Portaferry, Belfast, their religion recorded as Church of Ireland.
Another Frederick Beringer, aged 27, a Watchmaker born in Co. Down is also recorded, boarding in a house at 46, Princes Street, Belfast. All the Beringer's recorded in the Irish censuses have family members in the jewellery and watchmaking trades.
Matthew Beringer is believed to have died in 1916.
The business of Beringer Brothers passed to Joseph's sons, Joseph, Paul, and Alfred.
Joseph Beringer (recorded as Berringer) entered his mark 'JB' contained within two conjoined triangles, with the Chester Assay Office on the 26th June 1935. His private residence was recorded by the assay office as 28, Vicarage Park, Belfast.
OBITUARY
