TRADESPEOPLE AND CRAFTSMEN
OF THE DONCASTER AREA (1834)
These books contain all the names, occupations, and addresses of people
in and around Doncaster at this time.
Volume 1
In the Doncaster section of Pigots Commercial Directory (1834) there are
86 different alphabetical lists to look through. All these entries
have been combined and indexed in alphabetical order.
Volume 2
Nearly 700 names are listed from the townships of Bawtry, Conisbrough,
Tickhill and Wath together with their neighbourhoods.
Volume 3
Covering Hatfield, Thorne, Snaith and Goole and their neighbourhoods,
including Rawcliffe, Old Goole, Swinefleet, Boothferry, Reedness
& Thorne Waterside.
Unfortunately, Pigot's Directory does not include the unskilled poor,
who were the ancestors of many of us. However, if your ancestors did
live in the area, they may be amongst the around 2,300 tradespeople,
craftsmen, professional people, clergy and gentry who are there, which will
be a big help in locating them, especially if, like so many, they were
so inconsiderate as to die just before Civil Registration !
