I got both of mine through acquaintances.
Mandy can say where she got hers from.
I think they're on CD's.
Keep asking in second-hand bookshops, but expect to pay anything up to £75 for Victorian ones. (I see you're in Australia, but this advice is aimed for everybody).
Not that I know anything about eBay, but I suppose that will be the main source these days, but with the paper being very fragile, I wouldn't like to buy one by post (and they're so heavy, the postage must be costly).

My Directories are on CD from archive CD books

http://www.rod-neep.co.uk/

1766 Liverpool's first ever directory

1796 Gore's Liverpool Directory

1821 Gore's Liverpool Directory

1843 Gore's Liverpool Directory

1860 Gore's Liverpool Directory

1881 Kelly's Directory of Liverpool

1911 Gore's Directory of Liverpool & Suburbs

1938 Kelly's (Gore's) Directory of Liverpool & Suburbs

I don't know whether it's been mentioned, but toxteth.net have a large selection of extracts from directories going all the way back to 1821.
Bear in mind that it is only a selection, but all the main roads are covered, and some others.

Hiya Mandy ,
Please can i ask you to look up .

29 Irving St , Litherland , surname should be HINDLE , IN 1938 .

A friend is desperate to try & locate her siblings , as she was adopted .
This is her address on her birth cert ,
Does anyone know if this street is still standing or when it was demolished .
Thanks for any help
Karen

1936. John William Reid was at 29 Irving Street.
There were no Hindle's in Litherland

Irving Street is not listed in 1968, and doesn't exist now.
It was close to Seaforth & Litherland Station.

Phil ,
Thanks for that , do you happen to know if Ruskin St & Irving St were close to each other ,

There's only one Ruskin Street in 1936, and that was in Kirkdale.
I've got Irving Street on the 1907 OS map.

Karen

Could you please look up my Great Grandparents, Sam and Sarah Cromwell?
Would be much appreciated.

Jim

can anyone do me a lookup for Reay & sons metal workers at 145 or 143 Islington I'm trying to see how long they were at that address as they were there in 1891 census & also in the 1960 phone book

thanks
Mandy :)

They were at 145 in 1936.
For 1968, 141 and 147 are listed, but not 145, and they're not in the Alphabetical section.

Thank you Phil :PDT_Aliboronz_11:
