1888/89 postal directories

[protohistorian]

do you have a street you suspect them being on? Dave

Hello Tom. No Buki or variant in the description on casebook. That is, none living off a thoroughfare of the ratcliff highway. The search is 80 percent over if you have a street for some of these others it could really help. Dave

The directory is not simply alphabetical. It appears to be laid out chiefly by street and business. The names of businesses or the streets of people are now the preferred mode of giving pointed requests. I apologize for my error in understanding. Dave

I think you'll find there are several sections containing essentially the same information arranged in different ways - for example, a street directory arranged by address, a commercial directory arranged by surname (with a separate court directory for the higher classes) and a trades directory arranged by business type.

Unfortunately most ordinary people weren't listed in these directories, though - only those with their own businesses.

hanks for the heads up. I still have not leafed through one completely. Their condition is better, but still fragile. Any suggestions could be useful. Dave

If it helps, you can browse through the 1882 and 1895 P. O. Directories of London on the following site, to see how they're arranged:

for Nats

The heading says "Dunster court, but it was a subsection of the minories entry. I have looked on my bacon atlas, and I can find no such hole in the wall. Dave

This is off Mincing Lane, I think, not the Minories.

[protohistorian]

As I am not so quick with the names of places, and in light of the directory not using the nomenclature E1, here is the only entry for "Windsor St. There is also a "Windsor court in Whitechapel. Dave (1888)
