A.W.PAYNE - BUILDER. BRIGHTON
« on: Friday 09 July 04 00:41 BST (UK) »
My ggrandfather Augustus William PAYNE
Lived at 44 Grand Parade Brighton and had a successful building business for 25 years. and was succeeded by two sons Harry and Harold Payne.
I would be interested to know what type of building they carried out and if they built anything of significance.
The two sons took over the business in 1911 approx.
Where could I look for these details.
Thanks

Hi Gaygirl

Your best and a starting point to find the business is by using / looking through Street Directories of the day.

There is a couple of links here for you:

·   Deacon's Court Guide, Gazetteer & Blue Book of Sussex, 1881
·   Kelly's Directory of Sussex, 1890
·   Kelly's Directory of Kent, Surrey and Sussex, 1891
·   Kelly's Directory of Sussex, 1899
·   Kelly's Directory of Sussex, 1905
·   Kelly's Directory of Sussex, 1911
·   Kelly's Directory of Sussex, 1915
