Hi,
Been a fan of the site for years. I can't find an online copy of the Belfast Street Directory for either 1905 or 1906. PRONI only covers up to 1900. Have you ever seen one or have you any idea where I could consult a copy of the 1905 and 1906 Directory? Many Thanks.

Hi Colm, Thank you for the guestbook entry and your kind words 🙂
sadly the earlier directories are as rare as hens teeth, I'm always on the look-out for those between 1901 and 1907 but no joy, I was told a lot of the directories from that period were pulped during WW1, I suppose they were like phone directories and nobody thought they would become so important one day.
