I have recently been made aware that the LDS has films of the alphabetical indices to these registers. Has anyone used them? If so, what information is on them? I know that once you find something on the index, the actual deeds are at the London Metropolitan Archives. Or....if by some miracle anyone is going to the LMA and has some spare time to look at the index while there to see if there are any VASPER/VOSPER/VESPERs mentioned in the early years, especially around the area of Shoe Lane, I would be eternally grateful. (I am very happy to order the films, but they take so long, and once I find a possible new resource my impatience creeps in!) If anything is found on the index, I am happy to pay for a professional researcher to look at the deeds. Thank you Jan South Australia

Is it possible to find out what the Estate was worth in 1844 or 1865. my GGG grandfather left a business and two cottages. Regards Happy researching Sheila NSW
