Local directories were published from 1854 to 1940, initially every two years and later every year. These have details of the residents, their occupation and in some cases their address and provide information between the census dates and after the last published census. These have also been loaded to Excel files and there is a single file with all the directory entries for this period. There is a separate file for the 1950 Kelly directory.
