Kelly's Directory Of Cornwall 1897

Step back in time and discover your Cornish roots with the Kelly's Directory of Cornwall 1897.

Published at the height of the Victorian era, this incredibly detailed directory is an absolute goldmine for family historians, genealogists, and local history enthusiasts. Sitting perfectly between the 1891 and 1901 census records, this directory allows you to pinpoint exactly where your Cornish ancestors lived and worked.

What’s Inside? This comprehensive volume contains hundreds of pages of fascinating historical data, including:

• A complete alphabetical list of private residents and their addresses.
• A classified trades directory (find out if your ancestor was a blacksmith, a fisherman, a tin miner, or a shopkeeper).
• Detailed parish and town histories, local facilities, and civic information.

Important Note on Format & Navigation: This product consists of high-quality scanned images of the original book (provided in PDF format). Please note that because it is a scanned document, the text is not electronically searchable.

However, you will not have any trouble finding who you are looking for! Because Kelly's organized their directories strictly alphabetically by surname (and by trade), navigating the book is incredibly simple. You can jump straight to the letter of the alphabet you need and scroll through. Many genealogists actually prefer this format, as it eliminates the spelling errors often caused by automated OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software when reading old Victorian typefaces.
