(1) J. Waugh & Son Dublin The Irish Houses of Parliament Speaker's Clock James Waugh was a member of a well-known family of clock makers. He worked in Armagh from 1785 until 1805 when he moved to Dublin. He produced an 'astronomical' clock for use in Armagh Observatory, circa 1793., and assisted Robert Hogg in making an astronomical quadrant with a 35 inch radius (Hogg was later an assistant astronomer at Armagh). In Dublin he produced clocks from 157 James Street under the name 'Waugh & Sons' as well as 'James Waugh' (this latter nomenclature was in operation between 1805 and 1815). From 1820 until 1824 he operated from 24 James Street and, in 1825, moved to 40 Aungier Street. In 1826 a final move took him to 42 Aungier Street. He is known to have made the works for a Longcase Clock 9 feet 8 inches high, by 3 feet 8 inches wide that was in the Irish Houses of Parliament**. Francis Johnston of Kilmore*** MRIA (1760 - 1829) was the second son of William Johnston of Armagh. On the death of his older brother, Richard Johnston of Kilmore (1759 - 1806), without issue, Francis became the head of his family and entitled to the undifferenced Arms, as displayed on the superstructure of the Clock****. The Parliament House was sold in 1803 to the Bank of Ireland for £40,000. The conversion into the Bank's headquarters was started the following year and completed in 1811. Francis Johnston was the architect of the alterations. Between 1807 and 1814 Richard Stewart executed the carvings in the Chapel Royal at Dublin Castle, which had been designed by Francis Johnston and the unusual shape of the shield for the Johnston Coat of Arms, which was added to the Speaker's Clock, is identical in form, to those for the Viceroys of Ireland which Stewart carved in the Chapel Royal, Dublin.

Wells Albourne of Wiltshire, who is listed in Bells of England, by Tom Ingram, published by David Charles, 1954. * * The first Astronomer of the Observatory, Reverend Dr. J.A. Hamilton, was appointed in July 1790, and as an endowment for the Astronomer, Primate Robinson gave twenty acres of land and the estate of Derrynaught. Several instruments, including a Ramsden transit instrument and meridian circle, a Troughton equatorial telescope and three clocks, were ordered at the Primate's expense. However, owing to the Primate's death before receipt of all the instruments, the two Ramsden instruments never came to Armagh, Compensating for the non arrival of the Ramsden transit instrument an Armagh watchmaker, Mr. James Waugh, constructed one, and observations with it commenced in July 1793 (Stuart 1819). Some results with this instrument were published in the Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy (Hamilton 1810). * **Watch and Clockmakers in Ireland. by William Galland Stuart, Dublin 2000 (published with a grant from the Heritage Council). * ***Kilmore House, Richhill, County Armagh (Johnston IFR) a 3 story Georgian block, given 2 curvilinear Jacobean-style gables and mullioned oriels, between which 3 bays of the original elevation remain as they always were, complete with the astragals in the sash windows; the adjoining elevation also remained Georgian.

William Thompson, Wolverhampton, a mahogany longcase clock: the eight-day duration movement, striking the hours on a bell, the thirteen-inch painted break-arch dial having black Roman numerals, Arabic outer five-minute numerals, raised gilt-work decoration on a blue ground to the four corners, a subsidiary seconds dial and date aperture to the dial centre and signed Wm. Thompson, W: Hampton, the arch having a depiction of Britannia within an oval and further raised gilt decoration, with decorative blued steel hands, the rear of the dial embossed with the dialmaker's name Ashwin & Co, the mahogany case having a swan neck pediment with giltwood ball and spire finials, the hood with full fluted columns with cast-brass capitals, with fluted quarter-columns to the trunk with cast-brass capitals, with a shaped top to the trunk door and a raised shaped panel to the base with fluted canted corners, height 223cm (not inc. finial) * Biography William Thompson is recorded as working in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire from circa 1780 until at least 1805 having been apprenticed in 1767 to William Parkes. * Thomas Ashwin, born circa 1758 and married to Mary in 1774, was a dial maker working in Birmingham from 1777 when he is recorded as a japanner of all sorts of wares at 5, Paradise Street. He traded as Ashwin & Co from 1787 until his death in 1791. It was in this year that a mob gathered outside a hotel to protest at a meeting taking place within, which was celebrating the first anniversary of the French Revolution. Ashwin was recruited as a special constable whereupon he was hit on the head by a rock and died of his injuries. His wife continued the business alongside their fourteen year old son, but within a year they had formed a partnership with another dial maker, Thomas Byrne, who may well have also formed a personal relationship with Mary. In her book The Art of the Painted Clock Dial, Mary Tennant notes that only a few Ashwin dials are known - all of high quality, and that it is likely that Byrne continued to use the remaining stock of Ashwin falseplates on his own dials making it sometimes difficult to tell if a dial is an Ashwin or a Byrne, especially as they are of very similar styles.
