  • University of Leciester : online collection: Historical Directories of England & Wale

    I'm not sure if this is already known by the group

    "A collection of digitised trade directories, part of the University of Leicester's Special Collections Online, covering England and Wales from the 1760s to the 1910s. "

    You can search online, or even download ad searchable PDFs, includes many Kellys Directories

    Thanks Trevor.
    They withdrew this a couple of years ago so it's nice to see it back online despite having to wade through treacle to find anything in them

        I download the actual PDF files and search them from my laptop itself.
