Established by Benjamin Finnigan, the year being uncertain but by at least 1875. In 1880 Brian B. Finnigan was recorded at 15, Market Street Manchester. He registered marks with both Chester and London in that year,"BF" in two overlapping circles; letters sans serif.
The business converted into a limited liability company in 1901, the first directors noted as William Finnigan sen., William Finnigan jnr., and Bernard Finnigan. Later directors included Herbert Finnigan (1904), Vincent Finnigan (1904), and Joshua Finnigan (1913).
Finnigans Ltd registered their marks at the London, Dublin, Chester & Sheffield assay offices in 1901 and with the Birmingham assay office in 1904. All the marks were 'Fs. LD' contained within an oblong punch, but with some slight differences here and there.
Finnigans acquired the business of London & Ryder in around 1929. See: http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic ... 1&start=80
The business appeared to downsize over the years and moved to Wilmslow, Cheshire in the early 1960's. In the late 1980's the business was acquired by Hoopers, and restyled to that name.

Source: The Edinburgh Gazette - 3rd April 1894
Claude Charles Eldridge made an application for discharge from bankruptcy in 1901, however this was refused for the following reasons:
That the partnership assets were not of a value equal to 10s. in the pound on the amount of the firm's unsecured liabilities, and that this arose to some extent from circumstances for which the bankrupt Eldridge with his partner Lyon must be held responsible ; that the bankrupt Eldridge equally with his partner Lyon omitted to keep such books of account as sufficiently disclosed the firm's financial position after the 30th June, 1893 ; that he had with his partner Lyon contracted the debts provable in the bankruptcy without having reasonable or probable grounds of expectation of being able to pay them ; and had been guilty of misconduct in relation to his property and affairs, namely, in carrying on business, and with his partner Lyon contracting fresh liabilities in wilful ignorance of the true financial position of his firm.

The Validity of an Agreement.
Recently at St. Helens County-court, William Stephens, collier, was sued by Messrs. Wolfe and Co., wholesale jewelers, Manchester, for ,£5, value of a watch supplied. In answer to his Honor, Stephens said the watch he got from plaintiffs traveller was to be £6 10s. The traveller took his watch as part payment, for which he allowed thirty shillings, which left £5 to pay. He had not paid a farthing of that money, because he only took the watch on trial for a month with the understanding that his old one would be returned if he was not suited. Before the month's end he had the watch valued, and a watchmaker said it was only worth £4. Believing that he had not been dealt with fairly he asked for his own watch back, but was told that it had been sold. Defendant's wife corroborated. The traveller Broady, and a member of the firm, said the watch was sold without anything being said about a month's trial. The agreement to pay in instalments, which defendant's wife had signed, bore out this statement. Defendant strenuously stuck to his contention, and said that the witnesses were swearing falsely. –His Honor said defendant had better agree to an offer which was made by Mr. Riley, and pay £4. –This he refused to do. –His Honor said he had acted very unwisely, and on the facts of the case he was obliged to give a verdict for the £5 and costs, and defendant would thus have to pay £ 1 more than if he had accepted the offer.

While Church Street, Liverpool, was crowded with shoppers the other afternoon, a pedestrian suddenly produced a hammer and smashed a hole in the window of the Russells Ltd. jewelry store. The establishment specializes in diamonds. Before the shopping crowds realized what was happening the man with the hammer had his arm through the hole. Before he could get away, however, a nimble jewelers' clerk darted out of the shop and grabbed him. It was then found that a single-stone diamond ring priced at £2,000 was missing from the trim.
