I have transcribed this directory. Listings are organised by place. However I can search across all the entries I have transcribed, but will not for the more common names or words that may appear in the decscription of the place (so those people looking, for example, for Hill will be dissappointed). Please bear in mind that this is a Commercial directory, so only generally only people carrying on a trade will be listed (farmers, shopkeepers, publicans, blacksmiths, etc). A copy of the description is also available if your ancestors come from a place, this can provide helpful background information.

RESOURCES AVAILABLE FOR LOOKUP:

• Kelly's Post Office Directory of Essex, Herts, Middlesex, Kent, Surrey and Sussex, 1867

INFORMATION TO INCLUDE IN YOUR EMAIL:

• Title of Resource to be checked (limit to 1 resource)
• FULL Names (First AND Last) or Placenames to be searched (maximum of 3 names)
