[Details differ according to sources: the Dublin Directories give the dates as above. Teahan gives 46 Jervis Street from 1802 to 1803 and 7 Merrion Square from 1804 to 1810. Hogan gives 7 Merrion Square only, c. 1805. Gillen gives the only reference to Bride Street, stating that William Telford may have learnt from William Hull 'a neighbour in Bride Street (c. 1830)', but the Dublin Directories only list Charles Hull at Bride Street during that period.]
