County Armagh One Hundred Years Ago; A Guide and Directory, 1888;
Bassett, George Henry, Paperback (Normal Price £7.50)

It may be available in some reference library.
It is a paperback and lists the towns with postal areas and includes a
list of farmers and residents with their location in the area.

It also gives historical and geographical background and lists
churches and clergy,names of local administrators, as well as
professionals, shopkeepers and traders.
In the larger centres it includes some of the advertisements of the
day

Trust this is of some help

Any on-line?
