Does anyone know anything about the London Metropolitan Archives?
I've been asked by a friend if I can help a friend of his. She has been trying to contact the LMA from Canada. I know nothing about the LMA, never needed to even look at them!
She has apparently sent 3 emails to LMA over an unknown (to me) period, the last one being on June1, and has had no reply to any of them. She says she is willing to pay for pulling, copying and mailing the one copy, but can't afford to give them carte blanche to search.
The email address she's used .......... ask.lma@cityoflondon.gov.uk
Her question concerns the Christ's Hospital and Bluecoat School
The essential question she's asking is as follows ..........
I've done a bit of searching but can't find an answer.
Do any of you know if she is asking a question that is unanswerable. do the LMA not reply to emails, is the LMA open or am I dreaming that I read a note that it was closed for renos/moving posted somewhere (possibly on GR) to which I paid no close attention.
It does seem to be open when I google LMA

Do I need to use your PAID DOCUMENT RESEARCH SERVICE to obtain a copy of a document referenced in Information Leaflet Number 29, Records of Christ's Hospital and Bluecoat Schools, being No. H09/GY/E/057-068 as follows:
The archive of Guy’s Hospital at LMA include records of children presented to Christ’s Hospital 1725 1975 and pedigrees and copy certificates of Thomas Guy’s relations (H09/GY/E/057-068)
I have tried many times to find this document by searching for the reference code without success. As I live in Ontario, Canada I am not in a position to visit London’s Archives.
