Hello, As long as I've been involved in UK genealogy I've heard of Pigot. But I'd never seen it. The University of Leicester has put scanned images of at least 4 of his and at least 8 of other directories on line - http://www.historicaldirectories.org/ . I don't remember who posted or sent me this but I have to thank you ! It was about a month ago and I'm just now getting to it. If it came from here I apologize for the repost. I know "extreme" and "must see" (among others) are terribly overused phrases ; but this really is a must see site. David ps It is a little difficult to navigate.
David -- Thanks for this. It is fun and valuable. The problem that I am having is printing pages. It tends to cut off the bottom of the 8 1/2 x 11" paper that I use. Could it be set up for a larger page format? Is it possible to shrink or even print the bottom of the page on a second page? It has been spitting out a blank second page when I print. On the genealogical side, I have recorded from the 1829 Pigot several Cumberland Jeffersons in the wine and spirits business in various towns. Does this suggest a possible family relationship, or, perhaps, the tendency to follow along in father's business, which after many many generations, could spread quite distant cousins in the same business over the countryside? Just a thought. Again thanks for DIGITAL LIBRARY OF HISTORICAL DIRECTORIES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER.

Since it is an English site, I wouldn't be surprised if you learn it is set for an A4 paper size, slightly longer and narrower than 8.5x11.
