Trade Directories Lookup 1861 - 1881 - WESLEY
« on: Saturday 27 October 07 13:30 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find an entry  in any Trade Directory for St. Albans dating from 1861 to 1881 (roughly)

The trade is Straw Hat Manufacturer and the name is Wesley.  In 1881 the address was Holywell Hill.

I googled it and one entry indicated I would find it in Kellys Trade Directory of 1882.  I have tried to find it on Historical Directories.

Could someone help me out and find an entry for this manufacturer of straw hats.

Thanks

Hi Betty,

The entry appears in the 1882 Kellys Directory under the heading 'Straw Hat & Bonnet Manufacturers'  as Wesley Benjamin and William 27 & 28 Holywell Hill, St.Albans.

Hi Peter

Thanks for that.  That is what I was hoping to hear.

Is it something I can access on Historical Directories or anywhere on the internet.  I could not find it.

I would like to copy the entry.

Thanks.

Hi Betty,

I have the 1882 Hertfordshire Kellys on disc but can only take copies.    To save to or email from the computer is not an option.
