Directories
Directory Resources are both a research tool and a valuable insight into the lives of our ancestors and what governed their lives. The range of dates directories cover is much greater than the census, and although they are not as detailed, they are an invaluable tool.
Early Directories Pigot directories start around 1820 and cover the major professions, nobility, gentry, clergy, coach and carrier services, Taverns and Public houses of the areas. Entries include the name, trade and address. Slater directories tend to be larger than the Pigots and cover the 1850s in a similar manner.
Watkins Directories of London are more comprehensive and show residents street by street giving more detail such as occupations. Bulmer Directories have a larger history section than others, normally before the directory information. Kelly's directories often show residents. There are sections on each major town and surrounding villages, with a history of the area in a great deal of detail as you would find in a gazetteer. Information on the main trades, the chief land owners, the type of soil and even the coverage dates of parish registers can also appear.
Later Directories 1890 onwards In the later Kelly directories more detail is given on residents, these are sometimes put in a section called Court Directory. Finally the Post Office Directories in the 1900's gave fairly complete listings for the residents and tradespeople of an area.
"Directories were originally aimed at commercial travellers and usually contained general descriptions of a city, town or village and its communications (stagecoach and railway connections). An entry for a place then listed its churches, schools, inns, Justices of the Peace, other prominent residents, farmers, shopkeepers and other traders. Advertisements from tradesmen were often included."
