Notes
In 1843 Samuel Ebrall purchased the business of William Horton of 4 Wyle Cop, Shrewsbury.
In 1845 he moved to 6 High Street, and in 1853 to Smithfield Road.

He was an exhibitor at the Great Exhibition in 1851, and he won a first class prize medal at the 1862 exhibition and was appointed gunmaker to Queen Victoria.

In about 1888 Samuel retired or died and the firm was taken over by his sons, the name became Ebrall Brothers.

The firm traded until at least 1891, a firm of the same name trades to date.

Samuel was the father of Richard Holland Ebrall of Hereford.
