The Freeman's Journal and daily Commercial Advertiser
(Dublin) of Jan. 24, 1832 contained an advertisement for G.
Boles Wholesale House at No. 1, Lower Ormond Quay, featuring
shoes, boots, oil cloth, umbrellas of his own manufacture etc.
That same year, George had a bit of a problem with a
tenant of his in a room over his shop which resulted in a death
but George was not found at fault in the incident. The
Freeman's Journal published a full account of the coroner's
report and the trial.

Speculation: Who would have been the William Boles who was witness at George's marriage in 1835?
This is the most likely William I can find who could be George's brother:
William Boles m. Catherine
(of 9 Usher's Lane in 1840) 1. Bevan Boles bp. Aug. 9, 1840 St. Audeon, Dublin Then there was the Charles Bowles who was a shoemaker at #1 Lower Ormond Quay with George in 1846 so it appears there may have been three brothers: George, William and Charles. There was a George Boles bp. Aug. 24, 1805 St Catherine's, Dublin (C of I) (parents: James and Mary Boles of MB (probably Mary Bone) Lane) but there's no indication that they had the other boys. They are on record as parents of a Catharine (1804) and James (1808) as well but no sign of Charles or William yet. I believe the following William Boles, MD may be another son of George's as he gave his father as "George Boles, Trader" on his marriage certificate. To be a young MD by 1854 he would have to have been born in 1828 or earlier; if so he could be from George's first marriage although he may be one class level above George.
William Boles, MD b. bef. 1828
(at Clanbrassil Place in 1842; at #1 Harcourt Street in 1852 (remember George Boles lived at #8 Harcourt Place in 1832 and was probably there until the 1850's; lived 21 Upper Camden Street in 1854; surgeon)
