Hi. I have spotted an Edward Smith, printer of Birmingham, declared bankrupt in May 1860. This is in all the national papers, copied from the London Gazette. However, I can find no address for this person to identify him as there must have been a few Edward Smith printers in Birmingham, including my Gt gt grandfather who became the oldest master-printer in the city when he died at the age of 82 in 1910.
How can I find out if he is this same person? is there a comprehensive record of bankrupts anywhere to be seen? I'm pretty sure he didn't go to prison as he was in the 1861 census.
