I would be gratefull for any information on David Jennings who in 1902 was a Fruiterer at number 75 New John Street. I have no idea how long he was there. Many thanks.

Have looked in kellys for 1896, 1904 and 1908. No 75 New John St is not listed in any of them. There is a David Jennings, Provision dealer in 1896 at 237 Farm st.
There is a Henry Jennings, fruiterer and greengrocer at 56 smallbrook st in 1896, 1904 and 1908 and a Charles Jennings, greengrocer at 32 Prescott st in 1896.
There is listed a greengrocer at 75 New john St West in 1904 and 1908 , but his name is George Lewis. In 1896 the building was occupied by a miss Annie Badkins, boot and shoe maker (sounds like a dickensian name!).
Sounds as if he couldn't have been there long anyway
