Hello folks, I wonder if anyone can help me out?
My late father was a third generation painter and decorator in Liverpool,his dad died when he was 4 years old due to injuries received in WW1, and when he left school he started his apprenticeship with his uncle (Richard Campbell) who had premises in the north side of Liverpool I believe (poss Anfield/Walton etc), his other uncle John James Campbell may possibly have been a partner. My dad started work in 1934, but I believe the business was in operation prior to that.
Does anyone have access to directories which may be relevant?, I would be very grateful for any assistance whatsoever. ( I had thought of trying to trace his indentures, but got lost in the process).

Hi, If I admit it I am not that brilliant with computers either...that's why you got such a long link.....I copied & pasted the 2nd line and placed it against the https://www. on the search line, it came up OK
One of the reason wew display the links as we do is to avoid spamming!

If you pop into Liverpool Record Office at the Central Library, I imagine you'll find shelves full of trade directories.
