Directory search, please, 1830s

Post by **daggers** » 05 Jun 2010 09:28

Has anyone got access to a Liverpool Directory, 1830s? Looking for William Cunningham, dead before 1841 census. Possibly a broker, cotton or other.

He was married in 1815 in Manchester Cathedral, sons were born in Warrington [according to later censuses] in 1821 and 1824 approx.

Many thanks
Daggers

Hi Daggers

I found this entry in Baines 1824 Directory could this be him:-

Cunningham W. B. merchant; h. 24, Moss st.

That could be him - if only we had a census in 1831!
Thanks for helping.

We have Poll Books through our forum.
I looked at 1832 with no luck
Here's the link D.

Thanks - I had forgotten about the poll books- must be the heat - v. hot here, by our reckoning anyway.

Not quite, Tina - its grey and spitting rain again. Pehaps summer has been and gone.
