Al, Just a guess, but perhaps commercial travelers were part of Merchant's Guild? I really don't know, but that's where I'd look if I was curious.

I am wondering if there was such a guild, and whether there is today in Dublin a modern counterpart of such an organization that might have records of past members in their archives? Many thanks to any that can give me good advice on the matter.
