Owing to the war I would be surprised if there is a 1942 directory. Why not try the reference library at Boston? I know they have some pre war directories, and also some prewar electoral registers.

Thank you. Of course there wouldn't be any directories published during the war.

Are you sure the name was Jeffrey, and not Jeffries? When I worked at Boston loco from 1958-1962 the Shedmaster (now deceased, then aged around 60) was W.M.Jeffries, William Martin, I believe during the war he had lived in the Princess St. part of the town.

It turns out it was Fred Jeffery. He did work on the railway as a shunter in 1911 age 32,  came from Grimsby.
