Early Pyper Gunsmiths in Rathkeale?
« on: Sunday 31 July 22 14:08 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I recently found this online, and I am not sure how to find anything more on the Pyper gunsmith's mentioned. The parish registers of Rathkeale do not say that any Pyper's had this job at this time. The only Pyper gunsmith I know of is Julius Pyper 1840-1908.

There's also an old family story about the Pyper's killing each other in Ireland, maybe this is how it applies?
Thanks

Here's Julius Pyper in the 1901 census aged 57 yrs.
House 92 in Main Street (Rathkeale Urban, Limerick).
