The address in Howard Street comes from a note in the London Gazette (1871) where it states that Doran & Co are bankrupt. After that, Doran and his partners (Kreinschulten) move to Rhode Island in 1871.



Ged, As far as I know and understand from the newspaper ads, the men organized the wholesale (they were drapers and merchants) and the women operated a store, possibly in Islington 53 (they were milliniers).

Gerard, Thank you very much for your kind help.
