Following the death of his father in 1852, Edward Welby Pugin was involved in the completion of some of his Irish works. He formed two successive partnerships with Irishmen: the first from circa 1857 to 1858, with JAMES MURRAY [2] (as PUGIN & amp; MURRAY ), the second in 1860 with GEORGE COPPINGER ASHLIN (PUGIN & amp; ASHLIN ), who married his sister Mary in 1867. Ashlin opened an office in Dublin and managed the firm's Irish business. The partnership of PUGIN & amp; ASHLIN was dissolved in the latter months of 1868.(1)
