  • Online index to the Captains Register of Lloyd's of London - Guildhall Library

    Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section - Lloyd's Captains Registers: Introductory Note

    (Please note they say not to copy the info from it onto other websites or reproduce in any form without their permission!)
    Ooh, I've found my great-grandfather on it, and a couple of his uncles... and I bet there are a few other of my rellies on there. Now to find out how to get a copy of the actual file other than by visiting the Guildhall Library myself...

    Don't know if it applies to this list Kate...but a few months ago I bought an Sun Insurance document relating to my 4xgt.grandfather from the Guildhall Library. It was very cheap. If I remember correctly, you can't order online - you have to download a form from their web site but they posted it to me in the same week I ordered. I also liked the fact that I had to make out a cheque to the Chamberlain of London - very impressive title I think!

      Thanks, KR

      It looks promising... Though I've found only a possible for OH's tree, and none for mine.

              I've had copies of some of those Sun Insurance policies too, Ann, but I don't know if it will be the same for these as each Sun Insurance policy is just one document but each of the Captains Register index entries can lead to several different documents, by the look of it.
