Hello all Does anyone have either a trade or Post Office directory of Birmingham just prior to 1877 please? I have been sent a burial card for a man who lived in Caroline Street and was buried in Key Hill Cemetery. He has a fairly unusual name, and I am eager to know his occupation. Maximen Joseph L'Hote died 17th October 1877. I might need to purchase his death certificate, but I am trying to avoid that, as this is not for my own family history research, but in connection with a book I am compiling on the 'residents' of Key Hill. Keeping fingers crossed. Pauline
