Title: Trade directory look up please-COMPLETED
Post by: robsal on Friday 20 November 09 19:11 GMT (UK)
Hi, if anyone has access to any trade directory before 1840 would they very kindly look to see if there is any listing for a Samuel WINSTON(e) possibly in the Holborn area?

I have searched the Historical directories website but to no avail!

Any help or guidance would be very much appreciated.

Kind regards

Robert

Hi Charlotte, l don't know his occupation for certain but 2 of his sons went on to become carpenters, Samuel's burial record states his place of residence to be "Plough Court" l believe this is in the St Andrews area of Holborn?

If he were not a master carpenter then he probably didn't get in a Trade Directory.  A guess on my part.

Hi

Between 1819 and 1829 Samuel's occupation is given as a mason on his children's baptisms at St Andrew's Holborn. Samuel's burial occurred at St Andrew's Holborn as did his wife's in 1840.
