Hello Dennis
i was wondering if i could be of any help to you.I love going through the Postal directories.otherwise known as Historical Directories.Because you can trace a persons whereabouts year by year.Its amazing how many times people move and changed jobs in between one census and and the next.Things one would never about if it was for the Postal Diretori es.The library have the Gores P.D from the 1700 down to right down to more recent years.I found lots of information Yesterday (see example on my Rake lane topic above) If you would like me to  trace particular Names (Full) back through the years i will be happy to that if i can. Using the info on your post. It wont be till January though because i am away next week ,then Christmas.
