Title: Druggists and accoucheurs c.1840
Post by: aa42john on Monday 01 October 12 14:00 BST (UK)

Does anybody know where I can learn about Druggists and accoucheurs c.1840 esp. in Edinburgh?

I am esp. interested in Alexander and Isabella Grant who were at various addresses on Broughton Street.

The national library of Scotland have made the trade directories for the period available

The Royal Pharmaceutical site may be able to provide further information
