My ggg grandfather William TYLER was born c1812 in Tottenham he married Lavinia from Stoke Newington and in 1844 a son (William) was born in Mile end. I wondered if anyone knows how to find out if he had a shop or anything, how he traded etc... I think Lavinia is quite an unusual name and thought I would be able to find some info on them both but as not having any luck thought I would see if anybody could help with some ideas?

Lots of thanks in advance!

If he had a shop, he will probably be listed in a Trade Directory.

Thank you so much for your help! I'm pretty rubbish and seem to take forever to get tiny bits of info that everyone gets so fast!
