Tonge & Taggart Ltd,
Dublin [1869-1976-?]
- "My great, great, great (I think I have that right)
grandfather founded Tonge & Taggart. The Taggart side
died off and my uncle Claude, Thomas (Max) my father's brother
was the last managing director before it and the group Tonge
McLaughlin Holdings was sold to the Smurfit Group. The original
Tonge (father of the above) started in the coachbuilding business
in Little or Great Brittan Street in Dublin. We beleive that
we had come over from Yorkshire around the 1800's. A Thomas
Tonge had married an Ellan Maxfield (my father's name). It is
thought that they had arrived in Yorkshire from France with the
Huguenots (possibly coachbuilders) some two hundred years
before."

- "I am formally June Tonge. My father Arthur worked in
Tonge & Taggart (Iron founders) as a patternmaker from
when he was 17 till 63 in 1984. The firm started in 1869
in Bishop Street in Dublin. Then in 1884 approx. it moved
to Windmill Lane (now music studios). His cousin Claude was
managing director until he died 1969. My dad's father,
William, was a patternmaker then he was manager. Other
members of the family worked there also. My father says he
never knew of any Taggarts while he was there. I think they
parted early in the business but the name stuck."
