My grandfather was a butcher and came from a line of butchers.He and his father worked in West London.I thought his father was a master butcher and I might havre found him on a list of master butchers but I think he just worked in. Butchers shop in Fulham......certainly did not own it.My grandfather,because I knew him and I went to his place of work ......The Cumberland Hotel Marble Arch.
Hope you have better luck than me.....have only gleaned info from the censuses.

Nanny Jan..., that's a brilliant site !  Thanks !   Pity there's nothing for organ-grinders from Canterbury !    (in the black..., no VAT !)

PS  I discovered that reading the pages is relativly difficult as they are fuzzy.   But if you select a page and download it to your computer, the page suddenly becomes easier to read.
