Rural Community History from Trade Directories by Dennis R Mills
English trade directories with parish descriptions and lists of residents and tradespeople were published in most counties from 1840 to 1940 and are available in many libraries, but they are often overlooked by genealogical researchers because they are unfamiliar. This guide collects detailed examples of research from trade directories on self-sufficiency in families, the interdependence of villages, and basic differences between town and country life in one convenient volume.
Dennis R. Mills is a specialist in rural history and a lecturer at Open University. He is the author of Land and Property and Local Communities in the Victorian Census Enumerators' Books.
