Register of Harbour masters Kingstown/Dunlaoighre

[grizzly1]

Hi, im wondering would there be a register/list of people who may have served as Harbourmaster for Kingstown during the late 19th early 20th century?
Im particularly interested in the name 'Garret Hanlon, possibly spelt O'Hanlon, I am aware of a James Hanlon who was a 'pilot', but am having trouble tracking Garret who according to family legend once held the above position.
Thank you.

From previous searches I've done I remember seeing the Kingstown Harbour Master mentioned in Thom's directories, e.g. for 1910 the Harbour Master is a Captain Arthur Fosberry Holmes R.N.. If I remember correctly he's in the position for a number of years.

here he is on the 1911 census, slightly mistranscribed

........and the family story regs Garret holding the position of 'harbour master' has finally been cleared up.

On his marriage in 1906 to Mary Hogan, he describes himself as a harbour master's assistant.
