Glover |
Glover's 1829 Directory of Derbyshire
Considering the very early date this directory is incredibly
comprehensive. Each town village and hamlet in the county has its own directory
of individauls with large numbers of farmers and labourers etc. (Pigot's
directories do not include the farmers). Derby itself also has an alphabetical
list of those with trades, even those such as gardeners and builders. |

William White |
White's 1849 General Directory of the Town & Borough of Sheffield
Within Twelve Miles.
William White's county directories are famous for their incredibly
detailed descriptions of places and superb directories of almost every person,
from gardener to gentleman. The more specialised local directories he produced,
such as this one, are even better, cramming in even more detail. The directory
covers an area roughly twelve miles around Sheffield, including Rotherham,
plus Chesterfield and dozens of viilages in Derbyshire. |

Francis White |
History, Gazetteer and Directory of Derbyshire
One of the most comprehensive directories ever produced for Derbyshire,
and with 996 pages. Published in 1857 by Francis White & Co. The main
part of the directory covers extensive descriptions of each town and village,
together with its history and facilities, churches, schools, unions, etc.
and of course, complete listings of each person having a trade. Not just
commercial businesses, but includes thousands of farmers, bricklayers, dress
makers working from home and so on. Superb and comprehensive information
for family historians with Derbyshire ancestors.
The first part of the book is devoted to a very detailed history and
description of the county, with topographical, commercial and agricultural
information, mineral resources and production, public institutions, charities,
magistrates, public officers, and the seats of nobility and gentry. |
