Help finding a Yorkshire Business in about 1825 Pl

I am looking for the birthplace of a Yorkshireman and have exhausted all census records and other data in the public domain. I have just learned that he worked for a company called 'Burrell Son and Toby' (Yes that is how I was given the name!) in Yorkshire, but again there is no address or town name. He was born in 1806 and had moved to London by the age of 31 so I think I would want to access company information between about 1825 and 1835. Can anyone help set me in the right direction? Have to do work now but will come back to the site later Thanks Sylvie in Gloucesterhire
