Carolyn If you enter the following exactly, all lower case characters, into google, you will see a complete list of all Directories known to exist. It starts at 1756 with gore's being annually until 1941. www.liverpool-ancestors.co.uk/gores.html Also shown is known places or ways of access. If there is a Latter Day Saints church in your area, they can show you the list of the microfilms taken by their members of the Directories and you can order a film to be sent to the local church venue for showing on their readers In the 20th C, I can only see 1900, 1911, 1930 & 1952 gore's liverpool directories Terry Heath Cheltenham UK

Carolyn The directories that are sold on CDROM certainly can. Those on microfilm are just films of the original pages and the volumes are listed by streets and surnames but it takes good eyesight and lots of patience on a viewer, neither of which apply to me. I have sent you copies of [a] a street index page and [b] a name page. On the 1911 Directory CDROM, there are indexes for the street's initial and the surname initial, then its just a matter of looking through page after page. I assume that all Gore's Directories follow the same pattern. Terry Heath Cheltenham UK
