The London Directory of 1677 is the oldest printed list of the Merchants & Bankers of London. Re-printed in 1878, and arranged alphabetically by surname.

Carefully collected for the benefit of all Dealers that shall have occasion with any of them; Directing them to at the first sight of their name, to the place of their abode." Also contains a separate list of all of London's Goldsmiths in 1677. A book first published just a few years after the Great Fire of 1666. An absolute gem for historians and family history researchers.

A very comprehensive early Pigots Directory. By the late 1830s, the Pigots directories were becoming more detailed. This one is particularly useful as it was published just before the first census of 1841, and is an invaluable aid to tracking down those elusive ancestors as well as giving detailed information about the towns and villages in the county.

A very large book with over 1000 pages.This directory, unlike the 1848 Post Office directory, includes a full street by street directory of people in the London area in 1851, plus the commercial directory. However, the real beauty of this absolutely invaluable genealogical resource is this: Find your ancestors address on the CD and you have a starting point for searching the census records. Thats right, its a virtually complete London index for the 1851 census. The contents are: - Principal hotels and commercial inns for places throughout England and Wales, along with the names of the occupiers and the population total for the town in 1841 taken from the census records from that year. This in itself is a very unusual thing to find in any city or county specific directory;
- The Official directory, 59 pages, an alphabetical list of persons holding situations under The Crown in The East India House, Bank of England and the various law, city and other public offices.
- Index to Street directory and money order office, 15 pages, an alphabetical list of the streets in the directory. There is no actual index of places or indication of the area covered. We have, however, gone through the Street Index and extracted the place names mentioned in the directory. They are as follows: Aldgate, Battersea, Bayswater, Bermondsey, Bethnal Green, Bishopsgate, Bloomsbury, Bloomsbury, Bow, Camberwell, Camden Town, Cheapside, Chelsea, Clapham, Clerkenwell, Covent Garden, Deptford, Finsbury, Hackney, High Holburn, Houndsditch,Hoxton, Islington, Kennington, Kensington, Kentish Town, Kings Cross, Knightsbridge, Lambeth, Lime House, Long Acre, Ludgate Hill, Marylebone, Mile End, Notting Hill, Paddington, Pentonville, Piccadilly, Pimlico, Poplar, Portland Town, Regents Park, Rotherhithe, Sadler's Wells, Shadwell, Shoreditch, Snow Hill, Soho, Southwark, Spitalfields, St Giles, St James, St Lukes, Stepney, Stratford, Vauxhall, Walworth, Wapping, West Kensington, Westminster, Whitechapel.
- The Street Directory, 477 pages, street by street listings of traders and householders names. Even the street intersections and the positions of the churches are noted. This part of the directory is the real *peach* and will be of immense help to genealogists researching the 1851 census.
- The Commercial and Professional directory, 506 pages, an alphabetical list of peoples names, their professions or trades and their addresses.
All in all this CD is set to become an essential reference point for those people researching their London roots.

Probably the most important directory released. This massive directory (with over 3,500 pages!) is a list of most heads of households and traders in London excepting those areas covered in the Suburban Directories. Alongside the Commercial and Trades directories is a huge street by street list of private residents, which is an incredibly useful tool for genealogists. This particular directory, following so closely as it does after the 1901 census, is going to prove especially useful in locating families in the census. Simply find the families in the alphabetical listing, and you will not only see their occupations but the full address too. Look in the street directory (that lists every house and its occupier) and you will immediately have a mental picture of what the street was like. It shows every house, road intersections, schools, churches, pubs and corner shops, and even where the post boxes are in the street. Do bear in mind when using this excellent resource, that you can get sneaky with those elusive ancestors. Look at every address where you know that a member of the family lived. Look for all others with the same family name. You may often find that the head of a household is the wife's father. All sorts of interesting possibilities open up. You find a family at this address in 1902 - so look in the new 1901 census *and* older censuses to see who lived at the same house! Chances are, that this approach will solve lots of problems in your research. Trying to locate families in the 1891, 1871 etc. censuses is a cinch with this approach.

A fabulous and *incredibly* rare directory. Most larger suburbs contain a street by street directory which lists virtually every head of household by name, along with their trade. There are even people listed with an occupation such as 'clerk', 'householder' or 'jobbing gardener' so these are ordinary people in their homes, not just tradesmen at their place of work. Smaller suburbs have no street directory but instead include a list of private residents, which often runs to several pages, plus a Commercial Directory of tradesmen. Also included is an Alphabetical Directory which lists people and their addresses, plus a separate Court Directory which also contains names and addresses. You have to get sneaky here and look for your ancestors in both the Alphabetical *and* Court sections as they will usually be in one or the other but very rarely both! The final section is a classified Trades Directory which lists types of occupation, who performed those trades and where. The area covered is quite easy to determine as the dividing line between the Northern and Southern Suburbs is a natural one which has changed very little over the years...... the river Thames.

Very similar to the 1934 directory described above, but it is amazing to see how transient the citizens of London still were at this time. Only a few short years after this book was published a huge number of the businesses and private residences in it had simply vanished due to the wholesale destruction of the capital by German bombs.
