Kelly's Directory 1907
Materiel provided By Robert Giles
Robert' Giles is the son of Jean
Giles. Many in the village will remember Jean with great
affection, so I thought you might wish to see the
message from Robert Giles as well as the Kelly's Directory:
Dear Sirs,
My Mother, Jean Giles lived in the village for many years until a few years ago
when she moved to Melksham. She has lent me a Kelly's directory of Wiltshire
for the year 1907. You may know that this company still produce directories, at
least I know that is the case for London.
I attach a copy of the front page and also the part of the page which contains
the entry which gives information on Hullavington.
I found the extract absolutely fascinating as many of the tradesmen named bore
surnames of people who my grandparents knew or spoke of when I was a young boy.
Robert Giles
