How wonderful to have a Nutty solicitor on your tree!! You could try Historical Directories: http://www.historicaldirectories org/ (replace space with .) Or the local library to where they lived, for both Trade Directories and books on local history. Was theirs a small family firm? Maybe you don't know yet, but if it was, but no longer exists then it may well have merged with another local company at some time. If you are REALLY lucky you will have the same success as one of my contacts - a solicitor himself, who was able to trace all the business records for his great-grandfathers practice even though they ceased to exist as a separate firm in, oh about the 1880's. Much of the interesting paperwork having been preserved by the succeeding company. I can look in The Times newspaper archive for you.....I'd need the full names involved, rough dates and whereabouts in the country. Could then do a little search! Happy Hunting Merry
