I've had a look at the only directory I have which is dated 1914/15 and it doesn't appear there I'm afraid.

In the 1915 Kellys a St John's Mission Room was listed at French Street. Nothing on Edwin Brown listed on the 1881 census under religious trades. But anyone have any idea what a Post Boy (cbmn) was, the cbmn is the bit we are unsure of.
