Kelly's 1893 Directory of The West Riding of Yorkshire

Cat No.:   GB9031-1:

THE IDEAL COMPANION AND INDEX TO THE 1891 CENSUS

A wonderfully comprehensive directory containing every detail of the towns and village in The West Riding. (Note: excludes Leeds, Sheffield, Rotherham and their adjacent villages - see GB9031-2). In each place there are list of private residents and commercial traders, plus a huge alphabetical directory that covers the whole area. The larger towns have a house by house, street by street listing of households!

The trick here is to use the directory to track your ancestor down, their name and where they lived. Then use the other information in the directory to build up a picture of what the village was like, where they bought their food, where they drank their ale, who ran the Post Office etc. This is what Family History is all about
