GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
In 1891 William N Vessey (wrongly transcribed , but the writing was not clear)age 74 was living at 224 Pershore Road, Edgbaston. Retired Factor or it is possible it says Furier. He was born in Birmingham his wife Anna age 69 was born in Liverpool.
1901 William was still living at 224 Pershore Road, he is now a widower age 84 and his occupation becomes clear now,he is shown as Retired Hardware Factor. In other words he is an agent for a hardware company. living with him are his two sisters Annie L age 77 and Mary age 74. They were all born in Birmingham.
Going further back
1851 William is lodging at the Boars Head Inn, Carmarthen, Wales, age 34 he says he is married and his occupation is Cotton Factor.
I will have another look tomorrow, I can't find William between '51 and '71
I have found the marriage of William and Anna
15 February 1849 Aston Parish church which is St Peter and St Paul
William Nathan Veisey to Anna Maria Eborall
This was extracted from the register.

Here is what is available from directories. Io have separated (as much as possible) home addresses and work, though it is a bit difficult to know in early years , where probably it is the same address for both in some cases.
