Familyrelatives.com releases online new Trade Directory records for 120 Counties 1824 - 1846

The Pigot's and Slater's Directories form a unique collection of trade, commercial and occupational information from 1824 - 1846 for England, Wales and Ireland going back as far as the time of George IV when Britain was about to become the workshop of the world.

The directories contain all the major professions as well as the nobility, gentry and clergy. All the addresses are identified including trades and occupations, even taverns and public houses.

Towns and parishes are detailed for each area and the introduction contains key information including the number of inhabitants (taken from the census returns) with a geographical and topographical description and the local history. A description of the main trades, produce, manufacturers and industries of the area or town are also covered.

The collection is searchable by surname and forename or the business name for each of the counties. The Trade directories provide an invaluable resource for family history researchers wanting to know more about the area where their ancestors lived and the various trades and businesses where they worked.

The records can be searched by name and browsed by using the Previous and Next page viewing tools on the viewer.

Due to the age of the records these have been scanned and the images of the original printed pages have been made word searchable using OCR which is the recognition of printed or written text characters by a computer.
