Hey Sara and Tony,

Thanks for the replies. I'm looking forward to the trip. Unfortunately I'll only be able to spend one day
searching the records since this is a short trip meant for family pleasure. Still, anything is better than
nothing. The location of the Guildhall coincides well with a stroll over to Whitecross street where my
ancestor had his upholstery/tobacco shop.
