Post by: akersbyway on Friday 02 September 11 23:27 BST (UK)

Hi
Was wondering if someone can look up any information on a William Byway, a plumber, glazier in the late 19th century, I believe that his son Malcolm followed in the business. These occupations are listed on the censuses if the time but I would lov it if there was mor to be found and maybe the appear in. Trade/business directory or in a newspaper? Any help greatly appreciated

Hi Alex,
Have you tried the Historical Directories website:
http://www.historicaldirectories.org/hd/

Free to use & has directories for the period you're looking at. If you've not used it before I'd recommend the Technical FAQs for search techniques.

Hi Dotty,

Thank you, yes these are mine: Malcolm 2xG Grandfather & William 3x GGF.
Are images/copies of these available to request online or would I need to visit the local archives?

Thanks again

Alex

Hi Alex,

In the London Gazette on 21 Jan 1890 there is also the announcement about the Byway/Bradbury partnership being disolved and on 26 July 1889 there is an entry for Malcolm Byway, plumber and decorator of 18A Fountain Street and residing in Fallowfield under "Notices of Release of Trustees"

Hi again,

The Malcolm Byway announcement also appeared in the Manchester Guardian 15 Jan 1889.
