>I had a question this morning on Ask-A-Librarian from the UK. A gentleman 
>wants to find the dates of existence of John Watkins, Photographic Gallery, 
>trading at 34 Parliament St, Westminster, London. He is trying to identify 
>people in a photograph and he thinks a trade directory might list this 
>company. He says it would be mid-19th century. I have looked at Historical 
>Directories Online from the University of Leicester but I didn't find 
>Watkins.

> Barring that, does anyone in the UK know where  this man might get help?
