Crescent College Review 1898 says Ebrill Brothers are already established at Agricultural Hall, Military Road.
Headed notepaper of 1903 lists "Ebrill Brothers" as auctioneers and valuers, with:
An ad in the
Limerick Leader,

at 60 George St.
An ad in the

About 1932, William and Frank's partnership ended.
William left and moved to Dublin.
Frank carried on the business.
The story was that Ebrill Brothers
went bust in the
Anglo-Irish Trade War
(De Valera's crippling economic policy, 1933-1938).
But Frank says William left the business around 1932.
In
Draft agreement of 1945
he says that "William Ebrill on or about the year 1932 abandoned the said business
and ceased to take any part in same and went to reside in Dunlaoghaire near Dublin
and the said Stephen F. Ebrill continued to carry on said business".
Ebrill Bros. is not listed any more in
[Thom's, 1934].
In 1934, Frank has his own business
without William.
Office on O'Connell Ave (Military Road).
Might still be
Agricultural Hall.
In 1940-1943 letters
in Ebrill papers, Frank's business is at 2 O'Connell Ave.
