The County Directory for Scotland, 1857.
http://books.google.com.au/books?id=oOY ... &q&f=false
(Under the disguise of “Directory to Noblemen and Gentlemen's Seats, Villages etc. etc. in Scotland — The Counties in which they are situated, the Post-Town to which each is attached, and the name of the Resident.”)
This one may have been around for a while but I don’t think the fact that it is available online has had a lot of publicity.
I’m not too sure how comprehensive it is but hope it’s useful to some.

I hope this was of some use to somebody, although it’s possibly not as useful as the title may suggest.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for bringing that up to the top again-- don't know how I missed it the first time, I must have been searching for Evanses in Minneapolis or something. Anyway, I have found some interesting stuff in there and have downloaded the book for further perusal.
Thanks,
Sarah

Hello Sarah,
That’s an amazing coincidence. I have some of those in my tree. Maybe were related? We'll have to both join Genes Reunited so we can get in touch.
All the best,
Alan
