If anyone could help with the makers marks i would be really greatful.

Thanks Guys in advance ill try get pictures soon.[/list][/code]

D&S - Birmingham - 1913 - best guess is that its Deykin & Son, manufacturers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

As for the Irish piece - date letter sounds like that for 1964. My references are not great for post 1900 makers, so can't help you with this maker.
