Sampford Peverell in various directories

Directories have been published since the early nineteenth century.  Their original purpose was to provide information about towns and cities to visitors, so they would include a description of the place and list businesses.  Later they began to include details of private residents, initially just the wealthier residents but later they included householders and then other residents.  

Many directories are available free online at the Historical Directories of England and Wales website:
