Hello Dyoll, Chester has the following wonderful resources which will assist you.
The first link is the Chester Heritage Centre and the second the Cheshire Record and Archives.
http://www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/leisure_culture_and_tourism/heritage/chester_history_and_heritage.aspx

http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/recoff/

I know from personal experience that the staff in both are extremely helpful.
Good Hunting
