A Trad & Co

[mickawinn]

The above had an import business I believe operating from 2, South Street, Manchester in the 1860s to 1890s. They possibly had another premises. I have found a couple of trade directory entries but just simple name, address and business. Can anyone point me towards anywhere that I might find any more information about the business?

Abdallah Trad is a Retired Shipper

I don’t think Edward Mellor should be there - error in transcribing.

Annie and Theodore are with her mother and Theodore is ‘living on his father’s means’.

I know you want company details but the marriage might inform you of the trade. Of course, you may have these details.

I see you already have this information.

Yes I have the family detail but I was interested in finding any info about the Company that he owned. He sold the business at some point and he and his son appear to have lived on the profit made.

As he is retired in 1881, it would seem to have been sold prior to that.
