Bakers Bristol & surrounds

[JACK GEE]

I am looking for an entry in trade directories around the Bristol area of a Baker by the name of Filer. My Gilbert ancestor George Gilbert with his family was reported to have spent their last night in the area with the Filers before migrating to Australia. Their left London on 10th October 1857 aboard The Wildranger.
