Kelly's 1898 Hampshire & Isle of Wight Directory
Almost 1100 pages in this very comprehensive directory. Just 3 years before the 1901 census it may help you track down those elusive ancestors! Usual comprehensive listings by Street, Alphabetical & by Trades.
Includes a map of the Isle of Wight only. Sadly the Hampshire map is missing.
