Hi
I am a member of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. If you have a query about a pharmacist, chemist, druggist, apothecary I may be able to help. Also on queries regarding early types of medicines, chemist shops, drug treatments, leeches, maggots, drug jars, etc.

Hello Jane,
Your posting interested me as I'm researching UK trade. Are you still able to help with Chemist lookups? If so please may I ask a favour?
I have in my library Kelly's Directories for Chemists & Druggists for years 1893,1919, 1930 & 1938 but cannot find one (male) O.B.DUCKETT who was a Pharmacist and Dispensing Chemist. His shop is described as The Little Pharmacy..As I cannot find him in my Kelly's and no trace in the 1901 & 1911 censuses I'm guessing he was trading in Scotland between 1919-1930. His Apparell would also suggest this period.
Would you be able perform a look up, please?
Thanks in advance!
Owen Bertram Duckett b. 1887 Margate, Kent....he was a Pharmacist Manager and Proprietor of 20, Blackheath Road, Greenwich.
