Whites Directories of Lincolnshire Update

Whites Directories are a valuable source of information about locations in England during the 19th century. They give a comprehensive description of cities, towns and village throughout England. Unlike the national census returns, they are not comprehensive, tending to give only a list of landowners and tradespeople. They are nevertheless indispensable as a research tool.

Thanks to some sterling research work by local amateur historian, Pete Ford, the coverage of Whites Directories for the Metheringham area has now been extended to include relevant entries from 1872, 1882 and 1892. This is in addition to the 1842 and 1856 entries which this site has hosted for some time.

All the Whites entries can be accessed from this page, or from individual village pages.
