Suppose you could request a look up in the Trade/Street Directories. Don't want to teach you how to blow eggs but they were printed the year before the date you would be interested in. I asked for help with an M.I and Donna gave me all the details I needed for Manasseh, also from Brian Lawsons wonderful site I got the ref no. for his will which I ordered from the L.D.S. Hope that helps in some way, I'm in Lancashire which is a bit inconvenient for popping into the Records Office.
I'll have a mooch in my files and see if I have any scraps of paper with meanginless dates and names ! Good Luck - Mary
