Hi
Done some digging for you:
The saddlery shop was in the States Arcade.
I found the following entry in a book entitled" Guernsey As It Used To be" by Hugo.
Although written quite a bit later it is his reminicsing of what St Peter Port was like when he was younger.
"In the States Arcade were to be found............................Mr Mould srn., saddler, who had I think suceeded Mr Vincent of the trade..............."
I then checked some of the Almanacs that were printed around that period
I found an entry under Saddlers for E Mould in 1879, I checked 1878 but his name does not appear it is shown as Mr Vincent.
So it would appear he took over the shop sometime in 1878/1879.
I did check a bit later and found he was still entered in 1884 - but that as far as time would allow me to go.
Next tiime I am at the Library I will check the Almanacs to try and see when he is last listed.
Hope this helps.
Allan
