He might well have been self-employed; try looking at trade directories for the area.

cordwainer
Shoemaker. Originally, a leather worker using high quality Cordovan leather from Spain for such things as harness, gloves and riding boots. By the 19c it had reduced to a shoemaker - as distinct from a cobbler, who repaired shoes.

You can buy copies of directories on CD, see here, for example:
https://www.parishchest.com/shop/inde...e+CD+Books+Ltd
Alternatively there are a number of web sites with searchable images of directories or transcriptions, look at the England and Staffordshire pages of GENUKI, https://www.genuki.org.uk/big/ for more information.
