Dear Listers,
i would be very grateful if somebody who has access to any of the Kelly's directories for the West Riding, Yorkshire, between 1917 and 1937, could help me with the following,
My ggrandfather, Thomas Wilkinson was born in 1863 in Burley-woodhead, Burley, Yorkshire, he became a boot and shoemaker sometime before 1897, and by 1911 was a Master bootmaker. I have found several entrys for him in Kellys between 1897 and 1917, from the directories held at Leeds Library however this is the latest copy they had. I know my ggrandfather was dead by the time my grandfather was married in 1937, whot i would like to know is, were there any other entrys in the directories between these years. Amongst other information this would help me narrow down his time of death, the latest entry i found in 1917 reads,

THOMAS WILKINSON, 141 MAIN STREET, BURLEY, BOOT AND SHOEMAKER.

Any help with this matter would be gratefully received,
yours,
Peter Burnham.
