    3. Randall, This item is held at the London Metropolitan Archives (LMA), not at the National Archives, nor at Guildhall Library (as stated on the webpage). Confusion arises because (a) this online catalogue is hosted by the National Archives but relates to nationwide archive collections, and (b) the Sun Insurance registers have recently been moved from Guildhall Library to the LMA. The item will consist of a single entry (normally 4-6 lines) in the register of the Sun Fire Insurance Company for 1815 (MS 11936, vol. 467, policy no. 906078). Note that it is not the policy itself, but simply a register entry. Such entries normally give the name, status, address and occupation of the policy-holder, the nature, type of construction and the value of the buildings and personal property being insured, the premium paid, and the renewal date. There is normally no other information of genealogical interest. A copy of the register entry can be obtained direct from the LMA. The archives are closed to personal callers until 15 November (stocktaking), but email enquiries are being handled as normal. http://tinyurl.com/5dtxzu Judy London, UK On Sun, Oct 31, 2010 at 1:59 AM, Randall Davis <[email protected]> wrote: > Can anyone guide me about ways to access information at The National Archives, in particular > records of the Sun Fire Office, at this web page > > http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/A2A/records.aspx?cat=076-sun_2-0-467&cid=-1&Gsm=2008-06-18#-1 > > One of the items listed: > > [no title]  MS 11936/467/906078  3 April 1815 > Contents: > Insured: David Davis, 1 and 2 Field Lane Holborn, clothes salesman
