The Post Office Directory Of Glasgow 1909-1910

Step into Edwardian Glasgow: The definitive 1909-1910 Post Office Directory for Genealogists

The year is 1909. The air in Glasgow is thick with the smoke from a thousand shipyard boilers and the clang of industry. Horse-drawn carts clatter over cobbled streets, while the grand new trams carry citizens through a city at the zenith of its power—the "Second City of the Empire." This was the world your ancestors knew. Now, you can hold the key to that world in your hands.

The Post Office Directory of Glasgow 1909-1910 is far more than a simple list of names; it is a time capsule. For the family historian, it is an indispensable tool that bridges the crucial gap between the 1901 and 1911 censuses, providing a year-by-year look at your family's movements, occupations, and community.

Why This Directory is a Genealogist's Goldmine:

Breathe Life into Names and Dates: Move beyond the statistics. Was your great-grandfather a "carter," a "clerk," a "spirit dealer," or a "dockyard labourer"? This directory gives you the occupation that defined his daily life and social standing.
Pinpoint Their Exact Address: Discover the tenement, the villa, or the shop where your family lived and worked. Use the address to explore local parish records, view the location on modern maps, and even walk the same street on your next visit to Glasgow.
Uncover Family Businesses: Did your ancestors run their own business? The commercial section is a treasure trove, listing proprietors, business types, and addresses, often revealing family partnerships and entrepreneurial spirit.
Overcome Research Hurdles: Can't find a family in the 1911 census? They may have moved, married, or passed away in the preceding decade. This directory can help you trace their last known location or find a newly married couple setting up home.
A Glimpse Inside This Comprehensive Volume:

Alphabetical List of Inhabitants: The core of the directory, listing the head of the household, their occupation, and their address.
Street Directory: An invaluable tool for researching neighbours, the character of a neighbourhood, or tracing a property's history.
Commercial & Trade Directory: A complete classified list of Glasgow's businesses, from major merchants to local artisans.
Court & Official Directory: Listings for civic officials, legal professionals, doctors, and clergy.
Institutions & Information: Details on churches, schools, banks, railways, and postal services, providing a complete picture of the city's infrastructure.
Don't let your Glasgow ancestors remain just names on a chart. Give them a world, a street, a profession, and a story.
