Hi there The Wellcome Library has runs of the Medical Directory and Medical Register. Details of the ones we hold can be found on the Library OPAC (http://library.wellcome.ac.uk) and also in our Biographical and Family History online guide: http://library.wellcome.ac.uk/assets/wtx049847.pdf The Library can be contacted on 020 7611 8722 or [log in to unmask], so please feel free to pass our details on to your enquirers!

We have worked in partnership with genealogy company, ancestry.co.uk, to make the majority of this information available online. ancestry.co.uk have digitised every fourth register from 1859 to 1959. These are fully searchable and you can also view original register entries online. Please visit their website at http://www.ancestry.co.uk for further information. If you wish to consult an original copy of the Register, most large public libraries hold copies of it. Alternatively you can contact one of the UK and Irish copyright libraries (35kb, pdf)." I know that ancestry make charges for their website, but given the price of travel these days it could well be worth the cost of a few pounds. Many local public libraries and record offices have free access to ancestry.co.uk on their premises as well as having the historical directories themselves. I am not aware of any data protection issues with consulting the books, excepting local practices amongst libraries and archives. I hope this helps.
