1824 Baines Liverpool Directories. My notes.

These three Directories are taken from my copy of Volume one of the

original 1824 edition Book. "Palatine of Lancaster" by Baines.

The directories duplicate a lot of the names between them, but for

sure, the Street Directory contains a good number of names not

found in the Name Directory; the Trades Directory only has at most

only a few names not in the Name Directory.

However, I generated this digital multiple listing using OCR software

and although I spent quite some time correcting the diddly errors left

by the software, many OCR type errors remain. Many.

One can catch some errors by checking a name in all three

directories and comparing the results.

If what you find is of serious importance then you may want to consult

the original book itself. Or at least the reprint:

Publisher: David & Charles (10/01/1968) ISBN: 0715342959.

Its available as images on Mormon microfilm , # 1368147

and probably in your local interlibrary loan system. Some of it is on

Ancestry.com.

Using information gathered from the 1831 Census site (just statistics,

no names, too bad) I estimate that between them, these three directories hold

about half of all the names of males over 20 years in Liverpool in 1824.

That I think is a lot, and its why I have gone to a lot of trouble to share

and make easily available to my fellow familly history exploreres of Liverpool

this wonderfull resource. Plus, digital makes searching so easy.

I have previously published part of this on the internet , but here it is complete.

I doubt I will edit it any futher for error removal, its so tedious and

would take months and months to do it properly.

Enjoy.
