Perhaps the OP would like to clarify the question, it might help the search if helpers knew where the info came from...
Phrenology was quite a respectable, if not fashionable occupation during much of the 19th century and practitioners often gave talks and boasted about clients in their advertisements. University of Leicester has a good collection of trade directories which could help.

Googling "annie oppenheim" +phrenology brings a number of results. She seems to have been well-known and wrote books on the subject.

Wasn't doubting that you've found the person DebbieLou is looking for, more querying the dates DebbieLou gave us. Forty years is considerably 'out' - imagine the totally wrong answers we'd have found if she'd given 1850-2860 as a birth or marriage date when it actually happened in 1902!
I asked in post #4 where the address info had come from, but we're still waiting for DebbieLou to come back with that information.

Huge thanks to all for the rapid research and comments. A distant relative has a phrenology report handwritten on paper printed with the address, and signed. I gave the dates based on who I believed the sitter was - This person died in 1890.

Hi Squaredancer - thank you very much for your discovery!! The signature is hard to read and the scan isn't very clear but....it could be Oppenheim!
