Hello Graham Price,
Graham, I am looking for a William FAULDER(S), wife Eleanor, listed in the
1841 as grocer Chirk, Denbighshire. Any sign of him in the Pigot directory
you have access to?
Can anyone tell me if there is an index for all the Pigot directories
Thanks,
Kit Twigg, Chirkbank.
Alas, Kit, Chirk was one of the towns not covered by the 1830 Pigots. It
was not a very comprehensive directory in the earlier days, mainly
concentrating on the larger towns such as Welshpool, Wrexham, etc.,
although it did include such smaller places as Corwen. I'm not sure what
the criteria was, but the later ones were more detailed. The 1830 North
Wales did not even include outlying hamlets/villages from the main town
listed. Please remember, folks, that one had to be in business, etc. to
have your name entered.
Anyway, just for everyone's interest, I include here those towns listed:
Corwen, Denbigh, Dinas-Mawddwy and Mallwyd, Dolgelley, Flint, Harlech,
Harwarden, Holyhead, Holywell & Bagillt (quite large!) Llanerchymedd,
Llanfair, Llanfyllin & Llanrhaiadr-y-mochant, Llanfyllin, Llangefni,
Llangollen (but not outskirts), Llanidloes, Llanrwst, Machynlleth, Mold,
Montgomery, Newtown & Kerry, Pwllheli & Nevin, Ruthin, St. Asaph, Towyn &
Aberdovey, Tre-madoc & Port Madoc, Beddgelert, Welshpool, Wrexham.
cheers
Graham
