Hi Kerry No Peats. Chapelizod in the 1700's would have been a fair whack from Dublin City at the time ( although now it merges into Dublin and has a major Industrial site there) Red Mills could have been a Distillery ?? I say this only because I google the village and a story by James Joyce (1882-1941; Ireland) came up about a Mr James Duffy who had moved away from Dublin to Chapelizod ........titled The Painful Case . The story reads that James Duffy had a room that looked out onto a disused distellery. ??? Also from another google : 1842 CHAPELIZOD, a parish, in the barony of CASTLEKNOCK, county of DUBLIN, and province of LEINSTER, 3 miles (W.) from Dublin; containing 2181 inhabitants, of which number 1632 are in the village. This place is supposed to have derived its name from La Belle Isode a daughter of one of the ancient Irish kings, who had a chapel here. The lands belonging to it were granted by Hugh de Lacy, in 1173, to Hugh Tyrrell, which grant was afterwards confimed by Hen. II. In 1176, they were given by the Tyrrells to the hospital of the Knights Templars of Kilmainham, and after the suppression of that order remained in possession of their successors, the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, till the dissolution of the monasteries, in the reign of Hen. VIII. They subsequently passed through various hands till 1665, when the Duke of Ormonde, by command of the king, purchased the entire manor, with the mansion, from Sir Maurice Eustace, for the purpose of enclosing the Phoenix park, and the old mansion-house became the occasional residence of the Lord-Lieutenant. In 1671, Col. Lawrence obtained a grant of several houses and about 15 acres of land adjacent to the village for 41 years, at an annual rent of £42, for the purpose of establishing the linen manufacture, under the auspices of the Duke of Ormonde, who, with a view to promote its success, invited over numberous families from Brabant, Rochelle, the Isle of Rhé, and other places, who were skilled in the art of manufacturing linens, diapers, tickens, sail-cloth, and cordage, and established those manufactures here in the greatest perfection. In 1690, Gen. Douglas, on his march to Athlone, encamped for one night in this place; and soon after, King William himself, subsequently to his expedition to the south, passed several days here in issuing barious orders and redresing grievances. In 1596, Lord Capel, Lord-Deputy of Ireland, died at the vice-regal residence here fter a long illness, during which several important meetings of the council took place; and though the house was repaired by Primate Boulter, when Lord-Justice of Ireland, in 1726, it has never since been occupied by the lord-lieutenants: a house near the village, called the King's, is said to be that occasionally used as the vice-regal lodge. The village, which is of considerable size, and extends into the parish of Palmerstown, in the barony of Newcastle, is situated on the sourth-western verge of the Phoenix park, and contains 200 houses, of thich 103 are in that part of it which is in the parish of Palmerstown. It is within the delivery of the Dublin twopenny opst, and is chiefly remarkable for the beautiful scenery in it vicinity, especially along the banks of the Liffey, towards Lucan, and for the extensive strawberry beds which are spread over the northern side of the vale. The woollen manufacture was formerly carried on very extensively, and continued to flourish till the commencement of the present century, when there was a large factory, two fulling-mills, and an extensive corn and wash nill, which have been succeeded by a flax-mill on a very large scale, erected by Messrs. Crosthwaite, the present proprietors, and affording constant employment to more than 600 persons. There are also a bleach-green and several mills.

Hi Debs JOSEPH PEAT - 1800s Got a paper saying 'RED MILLS' Chapelizod, Ireland. A note worthy man in connection with industry in Chapelizod in the 19th Century was William Dargan, a railway contractor who conducted a thread spinning mill as an outlet for flax grown in the district. But trade declined and the premises was taken over by a Scottish firm who started the Pheonix Park Distillery. The miniture bust of Dargan was in the possession of Mrs Annie Maud Johnston nee Peat, a great grandmother of Joseph Peat who founded the 'Red Mills' Chapelizod in the early 19th Century. William Dargan bought the thread spinning mill off Joseph Peat or it was other way round?? Or Joseph's great grandmother Annie just found the miniture bust? Joseph married to Elizabeth nee Brownrigg and had 2 sons William Peat and Benjamin Peat . I was told that Benjamin was left a mill by his father Joseph. William ran off to the sea. Is there any Peats in any businesses around Dublin. I got alot of Peats as they were all born in around Dublin. Hope this is not too much :oS Many thanks Kerry One more thing - what was Red Mills??!! What kind of trade was it?
