The Catholic Directory, Great Britain, 1928, 1938 etc - Priests - A Look-up Service

Main Look-up Service

Roger Vaughan's Research Pages: The Catholic Directory Great Britain, 1928, 1938 etc - The book gives a wealth of information (see list at the bottom of this page) but only for Great Britain (England Wales and Scotland) . The most useful pages are the lists of Priests in A-Z order giving: Surname, Forename (s), and the address at that date An index of places (within each Diocese) means that it is possible to find out who was the priest at that location, the address, or where where it was served from, and times of services. Lists of Colleges and Schools (brief), Diocesan Institutions, Societies Etc. (Guilds, Homes, Hostels Settlements). English - Speaking Confessors Abroad - by location Obituary of those who died Feb 1927 to Nov 19 1927 and Nov 1936 to Nov. 1937 - gives date of death. Indexes to Colleges and Boy's and Girl's Schools under Names of Place- under Clergy or Religious, followed by adverts for the schools often with a photo of the site. Catholic Peers and Baronets (entries 4 to 10 lines) It is hoped that by having books ten years apart, a spread of information may be gained, ie where a priest was on those dates, I will check both books for you. Sample entries - Priests Sample entries - Places Standard Look-up Fee: Five pounds UK or Ten dollars US 1. Send me an email with the name and date - see below. 2.

When I have replied to your first email saying I have what you want Please then make payment, letting me know by email how you have paid, and I will then scan the entry for you. Scanned entries are sent as an attachment to an email, or any other way you prefer. Thanks for using this service - fees collected will go towards adding more reference books to this site Roger Vaughan - March 2004
