At some point this year I’m hoping to make a visit to The London Archives. As I try to look outside of Ancestry for historical records I discovered that other archives have records which would add to my understanding of my family.
So far I’ve located the following records of interest:

I’ve never visited The London Archives before (what was The London Metropolitan Archives) and am excited to do proper research away from a computer screen.
