If he was the owner or proprietor, you may find him listed in a trade directory for that period. |

Kelly’s directories for the town and time if there is some, try your library first. |

I have lots of Butchers too...if he owned the shop he might have insurance details on the A2A site. Ive found quite a few. |

I would start by looking near where he was living at the time of the 1861 census. Was he living in the same place in 1871 ? |
