Every time you post, you raise more interesting questions in my head! ;-) Now, I suppose that "King-Street" was the name of the street, and "West-Smithfield" was the name of the town, or part of town, but what was "Cloth-Fair"? A part of town where most of the clothes-sellers of various kinds had their shops? It sounds so evocative!

I remember reading that later in the 19th century, a milliner's shop (millinery?) was one of the few businesses likely to be owned by women. I'm assuming that Ann and Sarah Lyon were sisters, though I suppose they might have been cousins, or mother and daughter. I was wondering where the words "milliner" and "haberdasher" came from, and found the website I've linked below. (Scroll down a bit for an interesting explanation of where "milliner" came from.)

Haberdasher: In Britain and Australia, a dealer in dressmaking and sewing goods; in North America, a dealer in men’s clothing.
