Search directories & occupations 1858 – 1925

Occupation directories provide an insight into the lives of your ancestors, filling in details which would otherwise be fiendishly difficult to uncover. The Kelly’s Handbook of 1901 contains biographical information for members of the peerage and is a great resource for those with links to the upper ten thousand.

Similarly the medical, clergy and dental directories can help to flesh out your understanding of your family and uncover how they lived and worked.
