Brentford Entries from Holden's 1811 Trade Directory
The following list of entries has been compiled from S&N Genealogy Supplies' CD 'Holden's Annual Directory, 1811': I received a free copy of this CD when I renewed my 'Family Tree' subscription in 2005.
The CD includes entries for many UK towns (but there is no specific section for Brentford). However I found there are some Brentford entries listed in the London directory.
The directory is in PDF format and it is possible to search for text. However the searches rely on the software interpreting the old typescript successfully, so to obtain the list below various searches such as 'Brentford', 'w Brentf' and 'd Brentf' were used. I may still have missed a few entries.
I then re-entered the entries into a Word document and sorted it by name, transferred it into Excel from where it was possible to create this page.
A tip for anyone searching a PDF document for an ancestor: it is worth searching for 'Newman John' and 'John Newman' as names may appear in either format. If your ancestor has a long name and you find no matches, try searching for part of the name: eg 'utterw' instead of 'Butterworth'.
