Arthur Guinness's place and date of birth are the subject of speculation.

His gravestone in Oughterard, County Kildare says he died on January 23, 1803, at age 78, indicating that he was born sometime in 1724 or very early in 1725. This contradicts the date of September 28, 1725 chosen by the Guinness company in 1991, apparently to end speculation about his birthdate. The place of birth is likely to be the maternal Read Homestead at Ardclough County Kildare where his father brewed for the local Ponsonby family.

In 2009 it was claimed he was born at nearby Celbridge where his father later became land steward for the Archbishop of Cashel, Dr. Arthur Price, and may have brewed beer for the other workers on the estate. In his will, Dr. Price left £100 each to the Guinnesses.
