Hi on Wednesday i am going on a search for a Kellys directory, my 1st stop is my local library. I live in Boston Lincolnshire and the person i am researching was born and lived all his life in Boston Lincolnshire so should be able to get around places in Boston to find him. The question is if the library doesn't have a Kellys directory what other names could they have it under or where else is a good place to look? Many thanks Jen

I'm sure that Boston Library will have a collection of Kelly's directories, but if they haven't, the librarian will [or should ] be able to point you in the right direction - for example another - possibly larger library in your area. There are other directories other than Kelly's, so explore each one. Good hunting. David
