  • 1888/89 postal directories

    For the next three weeks I have access to both editions. Anyone wishing to know an address of someone/thing needs to speak up now. They are laid out alphabetically. My intent was to digitize whitechapel and Spitalfields, but this is now an impossibility. The more pointed the request for data, the better chance for getting them fulfilled. Dave

      I know it's not likely, but check to see if there's an entry for J.T. Ripper.

              Mary Kenny
              Mary Jane Kenny
              Marie Kenny
              Marie Jeanette Kenny

              Just on a hunch.
              My opinion is all I have to offer here,

              Dave.

                    Thanks for the kind offer.

                    An odd, trivial request, but could you possibly look up Miller's Court and settle once and for all the eternal question: apostrophe or no apostrophe?

                    Thanks

                      Oh, and possibly Alfred William Pearson.

                      Thanks again.

                        on hold

                        I have not forgot the requests. The preservation department at the uni has the volumes until at least Friday. Both volumes are more than 2500 pages and are in a dreadful state. I will go Friday and see if I can use the volumes. I kid you not when I say they are not far away from being unbound entirely. Dave

                          status

                          The preservation dept. has not finished the repairs. We are on hold until they do. I am not upset by this, as the volumes were in pathetic condition. Dave
