Trade Directories
Listing of the town's tradesmen and other information that can supplement censuses.

Introduction
Although directories may have been compiled one or more years before their publication date they are a very useful source of information. The changing incidence of occupations over the years is an indication of how the town was developing. If you are interested in a family then these directories can supplement census information or help you locate somebody in the census. I am not aware of any directories devoted solely to Malton.

Historical Directories Project
Historical Directories is a digital library of local and trade directories for England and Wales, from 1750 to 1919. It contains high quality reproductions of comparatively rare books, essential tools for research into local and genealogical history. Historical Directories is produced and owned by the University of Leicester. The Historical Directories web site provides national coverage and also integrates material from different institutions into a coherent, and free, online collection. It is relevant to amateur historians, academics, teachers and the general public. At its most basic level, the project seeks to provide at least one directory, for each major geographical area and for each of the decades: 1850s, 1890s and 1910s. The project was made possible by a grant from the New Opportunities Fund (now the Big Lottery Fund), the main distributor of National Lottery good causes money.
