I have an aoopointment with a specialist in a London hospital on Monday and normally all they do is give me a pep talk and say there's not much they can do so was wondering if it might be worth me visiting the National Archives and make a day of it? Is there something there that could help m? So far I have started researching only my maternal grandfather's side of the family and am stuck on my gg grandfather who was born in London and served in the Navy...also not sure if I found the right military record for him so was wondering if it's worth me popping in while I'm up there. What do you think? Want to do somethng up there at least besides being told to come back to London six months for another pep talk.

A warning -they take a photo for the card while you are sat at the desk talking to them - I didn't even realise theyd taken it until they handed me my card depicting a wild haired mad thing bearing (I hope) very little relationship to meJudith passed away in October 2018

Only YOU can decide that. But yes I do. You can view the 1911 census for free, though you need to get a ticket from the lobby first.
You can use the library and just get orientated for other visits. You can enjoy the bookshop.
It's impossible to sum it up, just check out the website for what there is, order your reader's ticket in advance to save time and you can also order up to 3 documents to view before you turn up. When you get there you can order another 3 etc.~ with love from Little Nell~Chowns, Dunt, Emms, Mealing, Purvey & Smoothy
