[Suse]

Can anybody help with finding more about R J Fisher who had a seed and corn business in the 1920's/30's am researching for a friend and the area quoted was Hollinwood & Failsworth (Macclesfield was also mentioned)

Hi,

There was a Robert Jesse Fisher aged 44 born Cheadle Hulme, Cheshire who was a corn and seed dealer living in Hollinwood by 1911. 

In 1901 he was a Hay Straw Dealer:

626 Manchester Road, Hollinwood, Oldham

Robert J Fisher, Head, M, 34, Hay Straw Dealer, Own Account, Cheadle Hulme, Cheshire
Lydia, Wife, M, 35, Failsworth
Lewis O. Son, 7, Oldham
Mabel, Daur, 6, Oldham
John H, Son, 4, Oldham
Robert J, 1, Oldham

By the 1920`s or 30`s it could be his son (Also Robert Jesse) that was carrying on the business.

Regards,
Mo
P.S.  They were still living at the same address in 1911 as in the 1901 census.

Hi

By 1953 they're not there as such, but I wonder if it's them under the trade section in  Kelly's 1953/4, Manchester, Salford & Stretford, so if it's them, they've moved out of area, but evidently didn't want to lose the trade!

Nursery: Fisher's, Priory Gardens, Sale, Cheshire.

Alphabetical entry is:

Fisher's nursery, Priory Gardens, Dane Road, Sale.

Best wishes
