Dear All,
A challenge to those with historical cartographic expertise.
Can anyone help with this query, a quick Google and Library search
found nothing.

Dear Mr Shand,
I have been involved for some time now in researching my ancestors and
have come across my 3rd great grandfather Joseph Curry who appeared to
be a surveyor and cartographer. According to the 1951 census he was a
surveyor in Bradford but by 1861 was a map publisher in Bradford. On
the 1871 census he was living in Scarborough and his occupation was
author of charts and maps - he died in 1877 after moving to Altrincham
Cheshire.
The way he moved around leads me to suspect he was involved in work
drawing up charts and maps of different parts of the country. I have
tried to find examples of his work through the internet with no joy, so
now I do not know where to look next.
Yours hopefully
