There were several London polls on citizents around this period, but not are
comprehensive or complete. There are about five thin volumes at the FHL which
are what I believe you want. They are probably also available at the Society
of Genealogists, London. They are an older typescript, the sort of thing
Sherwood did.

Judge Massey did not necessarily do accurate research, and made a number of
erroneous statements and conclusions about Massey connections (especially about
their Continental origins), so take care with what he suggests.
