Hello, Have been testing the Leicester University site with the scanned images of directories. There are a total of 16 directories roughly covering 1815 to 1877 (they have some broader periods defined so I guess they plan to keep expanding the lists). They have a varying degree of county coverage ; unfortunately the "Pigot & Co National Commercial Directory for 1828-29" appears to be the only one with Cumberland coverage. But if you have ancestors from other counties you may find more inclusion. When I searched on the Cumberland names of interest to me I had the following number of hits (England wide)- Carlton 524 (few in Cumberland) Carleton 40 Trimble 9 Watson 1,996 McLean 19 McClean 0 Irving 127 Collin 73 Collins 1,028 Robinson 3,218 Jefferson 100 Raven 252 Grayson 94 Armstrong 818 David
