They were basically the Yellow Pages of their day, and listed tradesmen and other important local officials. If your grandfather was a Railway Signalman, then he is very unlikely to appear in a Trade Directory. Perhaps you were asking about the Electoral Roll? Or (unlikely) a Telephone Directory? -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg
