Based on feedback we have decided to temporarily remove this project while we work on the ability to transcribe smaller parts at a time (as indexers were finding the batches unmanageably long). All completed batches will be arbitrated and the transcript used.
~~This 1924 Sussex directory features mostly individuals from Brighton and Hove and provides a useful year, falling 13 years after the last available census.~~
~~The text is all printed, however the way directories are laid out makes it a little complex as the street names can be confusing, with more than 1 street name listed at the start of some listings.~~

Any given name titles e.g. Mr/Mrs/Dr etc. Do not add a title unless it is present on the image.
Enter the surname as shown, this is usually the first word in the listing
Enter all forenames/initials as shown. These usually come after the surname and run up to the first comma in the entry.

Rev. may be listed after a name but should be put as a title.
Usually listed last in the line e.g. Hove
See Street Address Instructions
We require an overall uniformity of street, town and parish words, so all abbreviated words will need to be entered in full, for example – Terr = Terrace, Scarboro’ = Scarborough, etc. First street > Acomb Road, Holgate Road (North Side)
All parts of the address. excluding the town
If there are multiple street addresses, add a new line for each and fill in all details
Public houses should be entered as the Business Name
e.g. Headmaster, Farmer, Baker, Physician, Secretary etc, any denominations e.g. Catholic should also be listed here
Apartments, Refreshment Rooms, Fancy Repository etc should also be entered here
Business names including Ltd, Bros, & Son, Company. For example; Barclays Bank Ltd, H G & S Jones & Son, A Smith & Company, Smith Bros. If an entry contains two surnames e.g. Smith & Jones this should be entered into the business name. If however there are also forenames, e.g. Misses E & M Blacklock, this should be entered as two separate entries in the forename and surname and in the business name in full.
Public houses, club houses, schools, libraries, hospitals, cemeteries etc should be entered into the Business name.
