Gores/Kellys Directories

What is a Commission Agent?
Years ago a Commision Agent was a' Bookie'! (now called Turf Accountant!) but could also refer to a person who acts on behalf of another, on commission!

Hi Norm, one of my ancestors was a shipping commission agent in the 19th century. I think he was probably a shipping agent or worked for one.

I have just googled the following,

The description is failry broad but they acted as agents for other parties in this way.

If Mr A was in London but wanted to import tea, for instance, in Bristol he would want his interests looked after and would employ an agent to do this for him locally in return for a fee or commission. In this way he did not need to be in Bristol but was not at the mercy of local dock workers and shipping agents who might rip him off.

The term applied to all kinds of work, not just shipping, but was simply the employment of a local agent to look after your interests.

Hi there, response to Lady (Jacky). If you put the surname Ansboro into Familysearch it comes up on the 1881 census all in York (shire presumably) mostly born Bradford, a couple born Ireland. Hope this helps? Flower

Sorry if I have posted this twice, this is my first posting on here. I'll eventually get the hang of it. )))

Nothing for Leslie St in the 1948 Directory, sorry.

[Diane Louise]

Are any of the Gores/Kellys Directories on-line?

[Davec]

They don't cover Leslie St. in the 1938 edition either, they just have it being off Hyslop St.
