Lancashire / Drapery Shop in Manchester
« on: Saturday 20 February 16 16:52 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find a photograph of  a drapery shop whose address is shown as 164 & 166 Medlock Street, Hulme, Manchester in the 1891 census.   The business was owned by William Gee but I do not know the actual name of the company. Can you suggest where I search for such a photograph? The business continued until at least the 1930's.

Aberdeenshire / W. S. Grant
« on: Friday 21 August 15 15:56 BST (UK)  »
I have a silver spoon Edinburgh L&R (Lothian & Robertson) - cannot read the date letter - inherited from the family of Ann Grant Duncan b. 1849 in Aberdeen to James Duncan and Beatrix McDonald.
The parents of Beatrix born 1807 were Wm. McDonald and Ann Grant.
The initials on the spoon are WSG.  Does anyone know the father of Ann Grant d. 1855, the Grandmother of Ann Grant Duncan?  I don't know the birth date of Ann Grant.
By 1855 all the five children of Wm. McDonald & Ann Grant were dead except for Beatrix McDonald so that is why the spoon must have passed down to their fifth child.
Any suggestions on how to proceed would be gratefully received.
