Spirit Dealers

Post by SandySandilands » Fri Jun 03, 2011 7:26 pm

My 3 x g.grandfather David Sandilands was a Spirit Dealer in Edinburgh from the late 1850s up until 1906 (dates from the Edinburgh & Leith Trade Directories).

I was wondering if he would have required a licence to trade and if so, where such records may be kept today.

Thanks

Hi Sandy,
I'd try Edinburgh City Archives http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/info/428/archives

I know I looked up Tailor's directories there once.

Regards,
Sarah

Thanks Sarah.

Searching the site now and enjoying myself :) Think I may have visited it before and somehow forgot about it.
