He was the son of Frederick Darley and Elizabeth Guinness.
Frederick Darley was born on 28 February 1763 at Fernhill, County Dublin, Ireland. ( now owned by Dunlaoghaire county council ) He was the son of Henry Darley. He married Elizabeth Guinness, daughter of Arthur Guinness and Olivia Whitmore. He died on 2 April 1847 at age 84.
     He was Chief Magistrate. He held the office of Lord Mayor of Dublin between 1808 and 1809.
  The brewery produced Ale and Beer. There is no records left. The stream which ran through the brewery cannot be seen anymore as it has been covered.

  1. You might have to rethink this. The Henry darley you discuss (born 1801)was not the Henry Darley who ran the brewery. Karen, Stillorgan
