This is in response to Mark's questions. Poor Mark is just going to have to make a nice trip and make us envious! Nancy The Public Record Office (PRO - website http://www.pro.gov.uk/ ) is what it says - the holder of the public records (there are, according to their website some 8 million of those records held there!!!). Kew is in SW London. To show more details about your queries - go to http://catalogue.pro.gov.uk/ and type in the headings you give: Licences to travel . etc; and Kings Remembrancer. The first one will show that there are 33 volumes; the second that there are four different headings. It is impossible to see if they are indexed: many such things are not, meaning that exact details and dates must be given before research can begin. It needs a personal visit there to see exactly what is entailed in doing research on the documents - the PRO do not undertake research on such a vast holding. Do you have a particular reason - a person, say? It would be a mammoth task to just browse through 33 volumes!!! It is highly unlikely that the records would have been filmed by the LDS (Mormons).
