You certainly have a very complicated shoemaking empire. I did try to colour code the entries, but they got too mixed up. The results are below, but basically it looks like to me that the electroplate business was started by thomas Brough (with a moulson at first). He brought in George (his son?) , but not long after disappeared (died?) and George wasn’t interested in plating, but took up bootmaking. Then it gets complicated , with at least two Georges, and a probable different George junior. Also you get ownership of a shop apparently by one George, and also by a “George & Samuel”. Anyway I hope the info is helpful. I have also included the home addresses of the Georges I found, though only one (in 1873) can definitely be associated with a particular participant
