The Weir family has deep roots in Tinahely, County Wicklow, dating back to the early 1800s. Their presence in the village has been marked by both personal and business achievements, with the family making significant contributions to the local community over the years.

The Weir family's connection to Tinahely begins with two brothers, William and Samuel Leonard Weir, who are the central figures in the family's historical narrative. According to records found on the Weir family through census, personal records and on gravestones at Kilcommon Graveyard, the family had lived in Tinahely since the early 1800s. The family had a long-standing retail business operating at "The Corner House" from at least 1825.
