If you'd like to give some details I'm sure someone will try to help before you pay out for a professional. His name and approximate year of birth for a start.

I don't think you can get any better help than what you get from the volunteers on this site,

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

The many minds here are better than one "professional".
