Title: Leeds 1798 Directory - Nettleton interest
Post by: nettle on Tuesday 05 September 06 19:37 BST (UK)

Hi,

I'm hoping that someone might have access to the 1798 Directory for Leeds. I'm trying to sort out Nettletons in Leeds in late 1700's and would be interested in anything listed.

Thanks for any help.

Nettle.

Hello Nettle

This is the site you need, kind permission of Leicester University

The section you need is this but to get there start at the Home page.
http://www.historicaldirectories.org/hd/b1.asp

The search facility provided is good, once you have got used to it, use the surname first when searching. 

The home page.

Thanks Oly, had forgotten about trying that one. Unfortunately search gives zero hits for Nettleton for that directory!

Hello again

The Leeds 1817 Baines directory which covers 1750 to 1849 has a number of Nettletons starting with, Hollings and Nettleton Wheelwright, Alfred Street, followed by Peter in George Street and four more below him. See pages 98, 119, 185, 193.
