Slater's Trades Directories - A Useful Source

[sgmcgregor]

Hello all,

I don't know if you are aware of this, but thought I would post in the hope it helps out with the research of others.

I have found three copies of Slater's Directories online - 1878; 1886; 1903. They can be found at the following link, and they are all available for download as they are out of copyright...

http://www.archive.org/details/slaterslaterpigo1886unse (1886)

http://www.archive.org/details/slate...lnatip21903dir (1903)

I have found a few relatives in these publications - the Yellow Pages of the day (let your fingers do the walking! Am I showing my age by knowing the slogan?!)

Hope it helps someone.

Regards,
Steven
