While the online and ongoing Clergy of the Church of England database, 1540–1835, can increasingly answer queries about Anglican clerical careers over its designated period, save for a few volumes of Crockford behind www.ancestry.com's pay-wall those interested in the booming clerical profession of the later Victorian period still rely chiefly on hardcopy sources such as the annual Clergy List (1840+) and Crockford's Clerical Guide/Directory (first published in 1858 but only annual after 1876). Peter Bell's welcome CD-ROM offers what might be called an ‘enhanced Crockford’ for 1864. Bell has corrected or expanded the content of clerical entries in Crockford and added additional names of clergy alive in that year (even if not in a clerical post), using biographical/prosopographical sources such as Boase and Venn (both searched systematically) and others of a similar nature (including both Foster and the CCEd), as well as some primary sources. The results are presented in a standardised format, offering details of education (university, but not college), priesting, posts held in 1864, cross references, and in some cases vital dates, snippets of commentary from standard works and a (very) few portraits. Users are invited to send in amplifications and corrections with a view to future improved editions. The PDF format adopted has obvious limitations, and one may regret the absence of those working overseas, but this is still a very useful resource for both academics and genealogists with an interest in the mid-Victorian clergy.
