Accessing Billingshurst P.O or Kelly's Directory
« on: Thursday 25 May 17 17:45 BST (UK) »
I am trying unsuccessfully to get Directories for Billingshurst covering 1851- 1881.  I have ancestry pay as you go 8 credits left  and FindMyPast subs. I know it can be done as I have done so for Arundel but just cant work it out this time.  Can anyone help please. 

Through census have learnt that between 1851-1871  John and Elizabeth Redman possibly had a Grocer's Shop.   Occupation given 1851 William -  Grocer Shop, 1861  Elizabeth - Grocer Shop, 1871 - Elizabeth - Retail Grocer.  However this may only mean they worked in the shop.

If I can access directories it would help.

Hi
There are some entries, I've not looked at all of the directories.
1859 P.O. Sussex Directory has William Redman, shopkeeper
1866 has Mrs W. Redman, the same

But you don't really need to use your credits. They are also on the free Historical Directories of England & Wales website
