Directory Transcriptions

Now and again I delve in to my directories and transcribe a few lines from the Devonport section, for my own research interests. The directories are either on CDs I've bought or in images I've downloaded from the internet. I thought I'd paste these transcriptions here in due course, but note, some dates will contain the full Plymouth Dock transcription, others will only be partial, and the space they take on these pages tiny - it could be useful to someone though.... ?
