Directories are a fantastic resource for genealogists, social and local
historians ... no they don't give you BDM details, but they can give you all the
interesting information about a person and the place they lived once you have a
name and location.
Wouldn't you like to find out that you ancestor was a general merchant, and
find their advert together with what they sold, and the address of the shop? Or
maybe they were a solicitor, so you can find their name, qualification, address
and phone number if they had one. If they were a minister of religion you will
find them listed under the religious denomination (Church of England, Wesleyan
etc), together with the town they minister in. You might find that your relative
was a member of the bicycle club, or that they were in the Brisbane Mounted
Battery. The list goes on, and this is just a minute sample of the kind of
information that a directory can give you. That isn't even going into the
Alphabetical or Street Directory, which lists householders, house-by-house.
This directory actually contains 15 directories, all in the one!! You get the
following:
- Street Directory
