Directories are one of the most effective ways of tracing members of a
family, especially tradesmen. Many small businesses needed to ensure the public
was aware of their activity and one of the better ways to do this in an age
before media dominated was via a directory. The value of directories as a
research tool is enhanced when no census material is available.
