It sounds as if you have already checked many of the city directories so I will only add that which I believe might help you. I will start with the earliest and then move forward in time. These are all Cincinnati City Directories unless otherwise noted: 1843: Roger Lamont (L. & Anderson) corner of Mansfield and Northern Run. Hugh Lamont, tailor, Main between 8th and 9th David Lamont pattern maker, Mansfield st. 1849/50: Lamont & Anderson, merchant tailors 353 Main Roger Lamont (L. and Anderson), e.s. (stands for east side) Mansfield. 1856 City Guide and Business Mirror: No Lamont & Anderson listed under tailors. No Anderson listed alone either. 1863 (incomplete due to Civil War): No Lamonts listed No Lamont & Anderson listed either. Phyllis -----Original Message----- If someone has access to other years of the city directories, I would like to know when the company, "Lamont and Anderson, Merchant Tailors", disappears.
