SURNAMES: DAVIES, HANDS - 1980's-1950

New to family history research, can anyone help please.

I am trying to find out more about the family of William Davies, born July 1893 New Street, Enniskillen. His parents were Edwin Davies and Annie Hands from Lancashire, who came over some time after their 1890 marriage. How do I access street directories to see how long they lived here? They move to Scotland and then back to Cavan and Clones (Edwin Snr was then a gasworks manager).

Also her parents, Thomas and Rebecca Hands came over from Lancashire after 1881 to Enniskillen and lived at Fortmount and later 3 Erne View until they died.

Trying to track down his connection with steamboats on Lough Erne. 1901 ad in Enniskillen Times was for a boat called the Widgeon and he may also have been connected with The Lady of the Lake.

He possibly worked for gaslight company or railway???
