New interface at Historical Directories
« Reply #15 on: Saturday 07 August 04 01:03 UTC (UK) »
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet? The new and very much improved interface is up and running at the University of Leicester site:

http://www.historicaldirectories.org/

Among fancier options, you can now go directly to a given image number - no longer any need to click "next" 500 times. Hooray!!!

You can also search within a directory rather than globally.

Have a good read of "How to use this site" first. There are a few wrinkles still - a bad link or two; and things did not quite line up right with Netscape (which I prefer), but worked fine with IE.

But overall it is excellent - AND they are still adding new directories.

Enjoy

Don't get over excited, this IS NOT the 1831 census online this is the data extracted from it and other census.

I personally love playing with numbers so I found this useful.  It gives population stats on occupations illegitimacy etc

http://www.staffs.ac.uk/schools/humanities_and_soc_sciences/census/vichome.htm

There seems to be other resources at this site to, but I haven't investigated.

Cheers,

I have just found these two sites and cannot find them listed.

http://www.mlfhs.org.uk/Bookshop/man1891names.htm


Also accrington 1918 Absent Voters List.

This has quite a lot of info, such as Surname ,Forename, Address, Rank of soldier and Army numbers!
