'Plan of St James's Square and vicinity 1773 [Edinburgh]' showing General Register House & the Theatre Royal (my interest). See the sales pitch for new buyers of property in the area. A reminder that I am unlikely to find the itinerants I am searching for! #History #Genealogy

In a rather hurried and somewhat harassed state, I have made a small contribution to All About That Place. #Genealogy #Geneadons #OnePlace
It was a joy to work with Debbie and Jackie. My customers are amazing people and I have the best job in #Genealogy #Geneadons
I'm looking forward to tomorrow evening's lecture on the Thames.
