	I am wondering whether it is worth investing in any of the Kellys or other directories to see if it will give me any further information about a number of my ancestors who were trades people. Does any one have any good / bad experiences of these? Thanks!

	I don't have the exact address but if you do a search for 'University of Leicester Historical Directories' this will bring you to a great site that has thousands of entries. All for free. Happy hunting. Trish

	Thanks for this, it's brilliant!! I've spent most of the evening looking through the Hampshire 1899 directory and found 5 more businesses that my rellies ran. Thank you again!!!!
