Ayr Post Office Directories
« on: Wednesday 11 March 15 11:29 GMT (UK) »

Hi

Please could anyone confirm if the Ayr Post Office Directories in this link from 1858 to 1874 are all that were produced and no years are missing?

http://www.nls.uk/family-history/directories/post-office/index.cfm?place=Ayrshire

The reason I say that is there is no 1860-1861 which should be next in the sequence and then 1862-1863 etc but it jumps from 1858-1859 to 1861-1862 (no 1860).

Then it should be 1863-1864 but it jumps to 1864-1865 (no 1863).

So not sure were they produced every two years or annually in this period.

Thank you, very useful as I had only thought you could see up to 1911/1912 online.  :)
