Hi Paulette, I was going to reply, but see that someone has already provided the answer I was about to give. Frequently, I seem to get "New" postings with responses tagged on. It's annoying! Any way, gripe over, I wanted to add that people are often appear in the same directory under different lists. They can be found under trades lists and under private residents' lists. It is worth checking these alphabetical and themed lists as well as the descriptions and lists for settlements because you can discover more about these people, or possibly some of their relatives. However, please remember that the commercial directories, such as Kelly's, are not comprehensive - they do not list everyone in the areas which they cover. I believe lists were filled with the names of subscribers, as well as other bits of information of use to the general public.

Cooling seems to be a very small parish. (No post office, no school, only 143 inhabitants). The list at the end gives the rector and all the businessmen in the parish - five farmers and a pub landlord. So your GF would have been a fairly big fish in a small pond
