Directories are one of the most effective ways of tracing members of a
family, especially tradesmen, is through searching directories. 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.
