Are you looking for blacksmith shops or people who were blacksmiths? If it,s the latter you can go into the 1881 census and find them. I glanced through it last night and found 20 blacksmiths, didn,t realise Accy had so many back then. When I was a lad the only one was Fitspatricks opposite the slaughter house.
