Slater's Royal National Commercial Directory of Ireland, 1881
The Directory provides:
- names and addresses of principal private residents,
- names and addresses those engaged in commercial and agricultural activity,
- national lists for the principal gentlemen's seats and incumbents,
- location of religious, commercial and public institutions,
- national list of advertisers appearing throughout the publication.
Each town and village has:
- location in relation to its nearest railway station,
- population statistics derived from the 1871 Census of Ireland,
- a brief geographical and topographical description.
For Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Limerick and Galway cities, Slater's Directory is as detailed as Thom's Dublin City and County Directory is for Dublin. This is particularly important for Galway, Cork and Limerick as there are very few complete directories for these cities.
City sections include complete street directories, as well as lists of gentlemen, nobility, merchants and traders. Like Thom's, Slater's provides a list of trades and those engaged in them as well as the principal private and public institutions.
The index to this publication lists entries by the following fields:
- First Name(s)
- Last Name
- Town
- County
Searching on Name and, optionally, Place will return a list of matching records. Against each record there is a View image button which will display an image of the Directory page. Next image and Previous image buttons on the image display allow you to browse through the Directory page by page.
