Hi Patrick Clerical Guide first published 1817 Crockford's Clerical Directory published since1858 Clergy List published from 1841 I haven't sen the first listed but the latter two give details of Anglican clergy listed alphabetically together with their benefices held, population, stipend and patrons. Many clergy are listed in Index Ecclesiaticus (unfortunately incomplete) compiled by Foster.* It notes clergyman's names, their benefices and dates of their institution to those livings. *J. Foster Index Ecclesiaticus, Parker & Co. 1890 Above information taken from Ancestral Trails by Mark D. Heber I know that the Guildhall Library in London has most of Crockford's and the Clergy List and I assusme that the Clerical Guide and Index Ecclesiaticus are in the British Library.
