Jillian Kellys Directories were published by what is now a division of Reed Elsevier. I know, having worked for the company, that they have complete sets of all they published somewhere, probably in Sutton. Whether they would grant access I do not know. If anyone cannot access them from a library this may be a last resort. Suggest contacting the PR department in London. Regards Gary

Jillian, If you go to Bristol Family History Society Web site www(.)bafhs (.) org (.) uk ( remove the brackets and spaces from above ) I'm sure you could leave a message with them asking for their help so saving you the journey to Bristol. Good luck. MIKE.

The entries for some villages and towns have also been transcribed. Have a check on GENUKI for that area. Martin
