Hi Rita,
yes thats a very helpfull site, can often find ancestors listed. If you want to this site lets you look at some of the actual directories themselves from the whole UK.
http://www.historicaldirectories.org/hd/index.asp
NB if you've not used this site before, don't enter too much info at once into the search engine for each directory, like many sites sometimes "less is more" otherwise it just gives up.

Some more, older, Glos Directories are on the ParishMouse site.

Please, where did you find out about the Hair Duty, I'm intrigued as to how this got into a Directory, an old advert perhaps ?

Thanks Jeff
