Maker of Scotch,

...and union pipes.

3 pipe makers listed there.

Interesting to see that the Kenna's were out of the pipe making business by then.

Here's another old document relating to an historic pipe maker

Maybe their waiting lists were so long they didn't need to advertise any more.

Another great example of the now non-politically correct 'Scotch' being used as the all-encompassing adjective to describe anything -- not just whiskey -- of Scottish origin. Thanks.

I hadn't heard "Scotch" was non-PC..
maybe I don't travel in those circles?

The preferred terms now are 'Scottish' and 'Scots' when referring to anything but a very small subset of items like Scotch [whiskey], butterscotch, Scotch eggs, etc. Americans of Scots-Irish descent first identified themselves (and many still do) as Scotch-Irish when Scotch was still a catch-all adjective. Now it is more "correct" to say Scottish/Scots except in archaisms like those listed above.

I went to college at Appalachian State University in the heart of Scots-Irish America and there was this old curmudgeon that owned a store that sold Scottish items, including piping stuff. He had a bad reputation of jumping down people's throats whenever they said Scotch-Irish and it drew my attention to it. He'd gruffly inform them that Scotch is a drink and shouldn't be used that way. It drew my interest to the (de-)evolution of that term.

The guy ("Laird Harvey") had some good qualities too, but was very outspoken about his beliefs. We used to like to go into his shop and get him fired up on a topic like this or another one (e.g., littering... he thought that anyone who littered ought to be hanged from a lamp post and would wax eloquently [in a really disturbing way] about how you could have them lined up and down the highway with signs on their neck announcing their crime).

[rgouette]

sounds old school to me!

Yes, well, they were dead...

Except for 'Anne Kenna' who continued to be listed in Dublin business directories through 1847-48 according to Seán Donnelly... Timothy is thought to have died around 1840, and Anne may have been his wife... or daughter... we just don't know.

The address above in the Pettigrew and Oulton 1842 directory for John William Coyne - 2 Essex Quay - was in fact Timothy Kenna's old workshop address, and the address of "Anne Kenna" as well. Oddly, one directory lists Anne as "Anne Coyne" in 1842 (but not Pettigrew and Oulton's, apparently)).

Hi emer,
would it be possible to share the next page of Pettigrew & Oulton's as well (as I am particularly interested in John Egan)?
