Directory look up

[sigma]

Could some one do a look up for me in a Leicestershire trade directory pre 1841.
I require which farm was owned by William Harper at Walcote, Misterton, Leics.

Many thanks

possibly you would be better checking with the county record office or the nearest reference library, trade directories are very much surname based when they are indexed and so that would be a big ask, plus at that date, there were not as many around as the local newspapers were the main publishers and that begam nuch late, your better source would be the Land tax Assessments which went up to about 1828 from about 1780, they listed the tennants and land owners for every area. There were also 3 Manors at least'

which means the farms would be tenanted by leave of the manor estate.
