Kelly's Directories 1879 of the Forest of Dean and Surrounding Areas
http://www.forest-of-dean.net/?Kellys_Directory_1879

These directories give a full description and contain a wealth of information about a village, all the farmers, the tradesmen, important persons such as the Lord of the Manor, vicars, school teachers, post office staff, pub landlord and more.

The majority of Kellys dierctories are online, free and available at http://www.historicaldirectories.org/hd/index.asp.

Searching the 1914 edition I saw reference to a number of names which come up repeatedly in the forum.
