Each entry has two scans, the other being the facing page with the details of the indenture, length of service, and payment of duty.) IR 1/59SKILLMAN. Cost: £8.00.  | Sample scan, click to enlarge

Inhabitants of Deddington in Oxfordshire
(1790-1797) The provincial sections of the Universal British Directory include lists of gentry and traders from each town and the surrounding countryside, with names of local surgeons, lawyers, postmasters, carriers, &c. (the sample scan here is from the section for Bath). The directory started publication in 1791, but was not completed for some years, and the provincial lists, sent in by local agents, can date back as early as 1790 and as late as 1797.
