Hi I am looking into my family tree and on the census he is listed as a haulier could someone please look up and see if it is a registered business I believe it was on rolfe st in smethwick.
The 1901 census says haulier and i believe they they continued into the 1930's

thanks

oh, perhaps it was earlier then! not to worry......although the couple of pictures I have are of charabancs with people in so perhaps although census says hauliers he was more a people carrier? nan said they had horses though so i did think he moved goods!

thanks for looking!

Here he is as a coal merchant in 1908
 
brilliant, nan said it was next to the post office. so a haulier of coal?!? thank you
 
In both 1908 and 1921 Lowe & Sommerton are listed in the street section of Kellys as being coal dealers at or near 91 Rolfe St (No not listed in 1908). they are not there in 1932 or 1904. Several other coal dealers are close by. But in bothe 1908 and 1921, in the alphabetical section of kellys, Joseph is listed separately as Haulier in Rolfe St (no number), so he maybe did a bit of general work as well by himself. I did check that there wasn't a separate J. Lowe in rolfe st as well.
