   I must have used the top level search with just Event in the 1940s   
   Location Inverness and Keyword Manse. I then selected the Schools,   
   Directories & Church Histories category and it gives the British Phone   
   Book records as the top hits. You can then even go further and select   
   Telephone Directories!
