This is a little gem of a directory. There are descriptions of each place (the description of Norwich runs to fourteen pages!) and amazing lists of 'private' residents with their address and occupation. The key point to remember here is the date ... 1850 and that word 'address'. Now, what is the magic ingredient that makes a search of the 1851 census that little bit easier? That's right, your ancestor's address!
We feel that, due to the importance of this directory, we owe it to you to provide a full index of the places covered. So here it is:
