    Exclamation printing in Bishop Auckland

    Thank you. Not sure where to find directories. Have tried Printing Historical Society without success. Any further hints would be useful.

    The University of Leicester has a collection of trade directories on their site.
    There's a fair bit of info on County Durham on the GENUKI site HERE.

    In your place, I would look for them in the census returns where and when they were likely to be working.
