I'm trying to find an ancestor's occupation and an address for him (and family) in Brighton.
He married at St Nicholas, children all baptised at St Nic's and he was buried there but the time frame is only a few short years: 1797 - 1810
I haven't found any directories for that time and I can't think where else to look.
Any suggestions or ideas would be most welcome.
Thanks
Di
Edit: The surname I'm looking for is Vandergucht (or Vander Gucht or rarely seen as Gucht) just in case anyone sees the name on a record somewhere sometime.

Don't any of his children baptismal records
give his occupation at all? or is it too early, I cant remeber when Parish records started appearing on those nice forms rather than a muddly scribble!

Hi Di
If I get a chance I'll have a look in the directories either at the weekend or next week. I know the Brighton History Centre has a copy of a 1799 directory which may have something in, but if I remember correctly it only listed the cream of the crop (my lot never got a look-in!) of Brighton society by name.
I take it this is the "formerly known as Tattersall" lineage you are after. Glad to see you managed to eventually find him, just when you were about to give up.

Hi Di
I've just got back from the Brighton History Centre, and I can report that there is a listing in the Brighthelmston Directory of 1799 by Edward Cobby for a James Vandergutch (that's how it's listed. I checked twice! Another variation to add) listed under the section for Lodgings, which followed the Lodging-House section, so I would assume he rented out a part of his property rather than all of it.
It lists him in Cross Street, and states he had 1 parlour, 1 best bedroom, no drawing room and no servants bedrooms.
That's all that was listed. The identical listing appeared in the 1800 directory.
Hope this helps
Glen
