Alas, Kit, Chirk was one of the towns not covered by the 1830 Pigots. It was not a very comprehensive directory in the earlier days, mainly concentrating on the larger towns such as Welshpool, Wrexham, etc., although it did include such smaller places as Corwen. I'm not sure what the criteria was, but the later ones were more detailed. The 1830 North Wales did not even include outlying hamlets/villages from the main town listed. Please remember, folks, that one had to be in business, etc. to have your name entered. Anyway, just for everyone's interest, I include here those towns listed: Corwen, Denbigh, Dinas-Mawddwy and Mallwyd, Dolgelley, Flint, Harlech, Harwarden, Holyhead, Holywell & Bagillt (quite large!) Llanerchymedd, Llanfair, Llanfyllin & Llanrhaiadr-y-mochant, Llanfyllin, Llangefni, Llangollen (but not outskirts), Llanidloes, Llanrwst, Machynlleth, Mold, Montgomery, Newtown & Kerry, Pwllheli & Nevin, Ruthin, St. Asaph, Towyn & Aberdovey, Tre-madoc & Port Madoc, Beddgelert, Welshpool, Wrexham. cheers Graham
