From the end of the 19th century special sections covering '''tea plantations ''' appear in Thackers Indian Directories. [http://www.shop.fibis.org/fact_files.htm ''FIBIS Fact File No 3 - Indian Directories by Richard Morgan '']states "The tea section lists within each area the names of the firms, their “tea gardens” (areas under cultivation), the trade mark or logo of the company as it was stamped on their tea chests , the postal address, acreage, proprietors, general managers and assistants, Indian agents and addresses, and London Agents and addresses”
An example, is given of how a genealogical history can be obtained by using the annual directories in this context.
