Difficulty opening Lovell's directory

[Elliebob]

MJP kindly told me that my grandparents are listed in Lovell's directory for the years 1913 - 15 and gave me the link. 

I don't know if I'm being very thick but I can't seem to get beyond clicking on the appropriate year and then only get the instructions not the pages.  Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong please?

Many thanks
Ellen

Do you know what area you are looking for? There are directories for the different provinces.

Hi Janice

They lived at 340 Dandurand St, Rosemount, Montreal.  MJP has seen the entry and then I had the problem opening the directory!

Any help you can give will be gratefully received.

Hi Ellen,

Click on Link for “Bibliotheque et Archives nationales Quebec”  http://bibnum2.bnquebec.ca/bna/lovell/index.html

On the left hand side you will see the links

LOVELL’S MONTREAL DIRECTORY

Presentaion
Mode d’emploi


Annuaires Lovell

Montreal et sa banlieue    (Click on this one)

You will see

Serie principale   (Click on this one)
(1842-1977)


You will then see the years listed.
(Both are set up the same way)

Click on:
1913-1914
1914 – 1915
Now you can search two ways:
1.   Alphabetical – By searching this way, you search the name of your relative. It will show his employment as well as his address.
2.   Street Directory – You can now look up the name of the street, which will give you your relatives neighbours, as well as location of the street.

Your relative lived at “340 Dandurand, and worked for the “C.P.R.” Canadian Pacific Railway.

Also, try these links, to see if you go straight to the appropriate pages. If you have a problem, check to see that you have "Adobe Acrobat". It won't open unless you do. If you don't have this, you can download it for free.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Janice - got it now.  I was doing all the right things but must have a problem with Acrobat Reader at home.  I've managed to get the pages at work and print them off.  Will try again to solve the problem at home.

Best wishes

Hi again
Just thought to say that you may be interested that the pic on my profile is of Edward and Ellen when they were in Montreal and the child is my uncle Ron who was born there.

I seem to have sorted this at home now.  Thanks again for your help.

Hi Ellen,

Glad I could help.

Just wanted to let you know, that Edward's "Attestation Papers" are online at National Archives Canada.
