Information on obtaining copies 

The original series of Farmers Directories was formed circa 1891 although the date is an estimate and should not be held as an absolute.  If you can either confirm or refute this estimate please email your information .

The series deals with the Province of Ontario as the county system existed at the time. In the interval the counties have changed as well as the township structures and many locales cease to exist.

The address given after each name is the Post Office Address

The directory list name of resident, type of residency i.e. tenant or freeholder and the concession number and lot number. The value of the documents seems to be in quick access to a possible area of residence for your ancestor to be used for additional searching of
          land records
          newspapers
          tax records
          voters lists
          special census returns






The size of the documents seems to suggest that this was not a subscription publication as many of others were for this time period, where inclusion in the directory was based on an exchange of monetary value with the original publisher.

This is an incomplete work in progress; several counties are completed
