These PDF files are extracts, some from
Directories of Cheshire, for the years given. Each gives
much information about Stockport (including Davenport) at
the time, and historical, plus alphabetical lists of
'private residents' and businesses. The files are large, up
to 90 megabytes, containing up to 60 pages each of
searchable information. They offer much insight into
Stockport life of 100 and more years ago. Most ditectories do not list residents by street, but street information can be obtained by word searching. Note, however, that 'Optical Character Recognition' techniques used to scan the documents are not 100% perfect. Letter combinations such as 'ill' ans 'im' can often be mis-read, and hyphens are not removed from words split between lines, for example. Davenport was part of Bramhall until 1901/2, so we have appended Bramhall / Davenport listings to the end of the 1857, 1864, 1883 1896 and 1902 Stockport extracts.
