Kelly's Directory Of Derbyshire 1941

Step back into wartime Derbyshire with this complete facsimile of the 1941 Kelly's Directory.

Published during the Second World War, this incredibly detailed directory is an absolute must-have for anyone researching their Derbyshire family tree or local history. Because the 1931 census was destroyed and the 1941 census was never taken due to the war, this directory serves as a vital "census substitute," providing a detailed snapshot of exactly who lived and worked in the county during this turbulent era.

What’s Inside? This comprehensive volume typically includes:

• A County-wide Trades & Professional Directory: Find out what your ancestors did for a living, from farmers and miners to shopkeepers and doctors.
• Court & Private Residents: Listings of local gentry, clergy, and prominent private citizens.
• Town & Parish Histories: Detailed historical and topographical information for villages and towns across Derbyshire.
• Local Institutions & Officials: Listings for magistrates, councils, churches, and schools.

Important Format Note: Please Read Before Purchasing This product is a high-quality digital scan of the original published book. The text is not computer-searchable. However, because Kelly's Directories are meticulously arranged in alphabetical order by surname and trade, navigating the pages to find your ancestors is incredibly quick, logical, and easy once you reach the correct section.
