Title: Liverpool Street & Trade Directories 19thC
Post by: marine105 on Wednesday 19 October 05 14:02 BST (UK)

Has anyone access to any of these, please?

I'm seeking info about the CROSS family who were Tanners & Curriers. They first appeared in Street Directories of 1800 & 1803:

Christopher & John Cross, Curriers, 2 Orange Street.

Christopher moved to Manchester before 1822, but John remained and was joined by his 3 sons William, John & Christopher. I would be most interested in any entries about them between 1810 and 1870. John moved to Birkenhead before the 1841 Census and remained there until his death in 1881. William was listed as Retired in the 1861 Census. Christopher died in 1872.

They may also appear as Leather Cutters or Leathergoods Mfrs.

Or is there anything online I could access?

Check out the following link - there are a number of directories on there for all over the country and it's searchable.
