British Phone Books

Hi All,

Don't know if anyone else has noticed but Ancestry have released the Scottish phone books (1880 - 1984) now.
Have just found my grandparents in Edinburgh in 1937 so I'm a happy bunny. :D

It is a bit time consuming if you don't know what their address is but worth it in the end.

I'm off to have a look for my Aberdeen rellies now [woohoo]

Searching for Barclay Aberdeenshire, Stewart Edinburgh, Brown Edinburgh & Uphall, Finlayson E Lothian, Fairley & Renton E & W Lothian for starters!

Hi Paula

1880 you say? Hmm my gg gf didn't leave Scotland until 1883, now you have me wondering if he's listed? I tend to doubt it, they were poorer then dirt.

Thanks for letting us know, Paula.

Regards
Marilyn
