That's a difficult one Sharon. I would suggest that the Kelly's directory, or something similar, might be helpful.

Something else has just occured to me. Ancestry have a lot of telephone listings online - that too might be helpful.

Hi Sharon, and welcome to GR Chat :)

You might be wise adding this to the Tips and Records message boards as well ... there are lots of helpful people over there with great advice.

A start for your grandad might be worth looking at trade directories .... such as Kellys ? think they might be available on ancestry if you have a subscription for there ?

I am sure others will be able to advise you better :) and good luck
