If I had access to a Philly 1849 Directory (which I currently do not)
and I found Lawrence TURNBULL, MD, which of the following info could I expect?
His residence address?
Other employed residents (by searching on the address, if required and possible)?
Other unemployed residents(by secondary search as above)?
What other info?

Note: I found Lawrence TURNBULL in the 1850 US Census, in the Philly Locust Ward,
in the household of Charles S. Smith, Sr. as his son-in-law. I am seeking Charles, Jr., son
of Charles Sr., who apparently left his father's household in 1850, before the census was
taken, and does not appear, elsewhere in the City, or in the NJ census, where he established
residence after leaving Philly. His trade is Machinist. He was born in Philly in 1829.
Note: Charles S. Smith is listed in the 1850 Census Index erroneously as Charles L. Smith,
due to misreading the Enumerator's handwriting. Fortunately, I was unaware of his middle
initial when searching and located him by his spouse, Maria, after viewing 30+ Charles
Smith families.
