Post Office Directory of Bradford & District in the 1883 on CD Rom. It shows a good amount of local inhabitants of Bradford & surrounding villages during the year 1883.
They don't just list the elite this is a common misconception. There are plenty of people of average standing in the community, such as Butchers, Joiners, Shopkeepers, Boot & Shoe Makers etc
However even if you know for certain that a relative was living in a particular place at a certain time it does not automactically follow that you will find them in a book as it was the individuals choice as to whether they went into these type of publications, but it's great fun looking & you might get lucky !
This directory covers Bradford with it's surrounding villages such as,
ALLERTON -BOWLING - BAILDON - CLAYTON - DENHOLM - FRIZINGHALL - GREAT HORTON - IDLE - ILKLEY - LAISTERDYKE - QUEENSBURY - RAWDON - SALTAIRE - SHILPEY - THORNTON - UNDERCLIFFE - WIBSEY - WYKE
