Places of work in early 19th century
« on: Thursday 12 December 13 14:40 GMT (UK) »
Any ideas on where, apart from the Census, the names of employers can be found, from 1900 to 1917 in particular in Suffolk.
Thanks

I think Kelly's Directories used to list practically everything in an area - not sure if there are any versions available online though.  Might be worth having a hunt though.  I think there also used to be a Suffolk Trade Directory which presumably would also give details of employers in the area.
