Are you familiar with the Historical Directories website?. These are Trade Directories issued throughout the 18th, 19th and early 20th Century. Lot of stuff there.

Re last post


I forgot to add..I have now found out that Catherine Tierney Was acctually still married to John Margerison from Glossop who incidently was also a shoemaker!! She was Catherine Lister of sheffield  - married John Margerison son of Valentine in 1883 occupation Shoe/bootmaker. The marriage to John Tierney did not take place until 1921!!!! oops

The Official Report for the 1891 Census quotes, for Shoe, Boot etc., Makers, 224,059 for the 1881 census and 248,789 for the 1891 census.
 http://www.rootschat.com/links/07cj/   so the task of attempting to make a database for the 19th century is daunting.

On the other hand it would be easy enough to extract the 224,059 from the 1881 census - which would be a pretty good start to a database.
