Frederic Festus Kelly : ウィキペディア英語版 | Frederic Festus Kelly
Frederic Festus Kelly (died 3 June 1883)〔 was a high official in the British Post Office. He was also the founder of Kelly & Co. (later Kelly's Directories Ltd.), which published the Kelly's Directory, a sort of Victorian-era "Yellow Pages" that listed all businesses, tradespeople, local gentry, landowners, charities, and other facilities located in a particular village, city or town. In many sources, both contemporary and modern, his name is spelled Frederick. He should not be confused with his identically-named eldest son. ==Inspector of Letter Carriers==
He began working for the Post Office in 1819.〔 In 1835 or 1836 he became a chief inspector of letter carriers. His exact title varied over the years because in the early 19th century there were three separate services with separate corps of letter-carriers: twopenny-post (for mail within London; renamed the London District Post Office in 1844); inland (for domestic mail outside London); and foreign (for overseas mail).〔 Although the foreign letter-carriers had been abolished by 1835, with their duties carried out by the other two services,〔 the (by then renamed) General Post and London District letter-carriers remained separate until 1855,〔〔 with separate chief inspectors.〔 Before that date, Kelly was inspector of only the inland or general-post letter carriers. Kelly lost his government post in 1860 when the office of Inspector-General of Letter Carriers was abolished.〔〔
