TheGenealogist adds 1930s trade directories for England and the Channel Islands

I normally don't run English-only themed stories on this blog (not its remit!), but this could be a useful census substitute for those with familes who moved south and were there after the 1921 census.

TheGenealogist (www.thegenealogist.co.uk) has added the following searchable directories for the following areas in England from the 1930s and the Channel Islands (bear in mind that unlike Scotland, England's 1931 census has not survived):  

●    Kelly's Directory of Bedfordshire and Huntingdonshire, 1931
●    Kelly's Directory of Bournemouth, Poole, Parkstone, Christchurch &c., 1932
●    Kelly's Directory of Brighton and Hove, 1932
