RichardB Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 John ATKINSON Draper 2, 4 & 6 Prince Street & 86, 88 & 90 South Street, Moor Kelly's 1893 and the same address through to White's Directory of 1919. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judith Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 and the same address through to White's Directory of 1919. Not at all sure this is relevant, but in the 1841 census there is a John Atkinson, aged 30, draper in Angel Street apparently employing three journeymen and seven apprentices.
