Glynis,
The 1835 Pigot & Co's National Commercial Directory (principal towns only)
is offered by 2 volunteers for lookups on the Montgomeryshire page of the
Mid-Wales Lookup Exchange.

Otherwise, suggest you contact Powys County Archives
http://archives.powys.gov.uk/ ---
you can email them from there to see if they have additional directories.
Good luck!

Subject: trade and commercial directories circa 1851
Dear list
I am trying to locate trade or commercial directories for the nearest year
I can
get to 1851(latest date), which have an entry and information about
Machynlleth. Will be visiting the area next week. Newtown library say they
have some directories on microfiche but are not sure about the exact years
available. Does anyone know of any other holdings of directories locally?
regards
Glynis
