Welcome to Rootschat  :D

Have you thought about looking in Kelly's Directories?  Link below that explains about them.

Ancestry have this information so if you have a sub to Ancestry you could look there as well. Ancestry UK, City and County Directories, 1766 - 1946

Welcome to Rootschat

You need to give a timescale and location plus details of the type of business. 

If giving the names of the family members involved - please be aware that Rootschat has a strict "no living persons"  policy so do not include details of any living persons
