Cab proprietor

[Carol Collins]

Is there a register of London cab proprietors/drivers? If so when did this begin and where can I see a copy of it?
I have a marriage certificate of 1861 with both groom and father listed as cab proprietors in Clerkenwell Middlesex.

Hi

They may have be proprietors of the Hackney cabs who drove cabs around London for decades.

It may be a good idea to check local directories for the area. I think there is a website that has an 1859 London Directory.
