Two early Directories join Ancestry's Irish collection

Ancestry has added two early directories to its Ireland, City & Regional Directories, 1847–1947 collection (and has yet to amend the dates of coverage in this collection's title.

Sample from 1836 edition of Pettigrew and Oulton
Dublin Almanack and General Register of Ireland

The new directores are:

• 1836 Pettigrew and Oulton Dublin Almanack and General Register of Ireland
• 1838 Pettigrew and Oulton Dublin Almanack and General Register of Ireland
  

These volumes can be searched by name, occupation/trade, address and year, or browsed by individual volume.

Additionally, Ancestry has added additional indexes to live images, and the card catalogue says there are 12,249,395 records in the collection. Whether this figure includes the latest additions, I don't know, but it's a reminder that this is a huge collection and well worth searching, not just for individuals working in business or the professions but also for information about the country, its institutions and social organisation, as well as more local details such as when market fairs were held, mail coach timetables, and much more.
