Hi, I have an ancestor John William Longland who was a Butcher and it looks like in 1911 he owned a Butchers shop, 6 Tramway Terrace, Carshalton Rd, Mitcham. I am just wondering where you obtained the 1915 information from? I am currently researching my family tree, hence the enquiry. Thanks Paul Chiddicks

Hi Paul, thanks for your comment.
The 1915 source was a street directory, and I’ve updated the post to show that. I used to use either actual street directories in Morden library or the Leicester Uni resource at http://specialcollections.le.ac.uk/digital/collection/p16445coll4 but that webpage now says that Ancestry is to the place to go for such directories, and so I have been using them from there.
Cheers, Wade.
