Summary: 1889 Directory of Tipperary
Comment: This book is a combination of a postal directory of County Tipperary,Ireland in 1889 and local history. The book was originally published as "A manual and directory for manufacturers,merchants,traders,professional men,land-owners,farmers,tourists, anglers and sportsmen generally".
Approximately half of the book consists of pictures and advertisements from businesses. The remainder of the book is divided between a postal directory of 1889 and local and county history. There is an overall index for merchants,but "Farmers & Residents" must be looked up at their postal directory listing. This book is of great interest for the genealogist looking for anyone circa 1889 in Tipperary. The directory also can give a person an idea of the number of individuals of a particular surname that stayed behind in post-famine Ireland. The listing of names appears to be comprehensive for any person that owned or leased land in Tipperary. Persons living in a hotel or working as a laborer for others on a farm may not be listed. I was able to locate all of my many ancestors (head of houshold) who lived in Tipperary at this time. In one case I found an ancestor whose postal address was different than his acutal Townsland address. The book provides not only reference material, but also reads like a local Tipperary newspaper from the late 1800s. If you have an interest in genealogy or history in 1889 Tipperary you will find yourself reading more of the book/directory than you intended.
