Sorry folks.   My posting yesterday contained a couple of errors - which are now
corrected:-

1. The 1790 Guildford Poll Book:
This does not include any *original* images.
 It is a detailed transcription of the proceedings commencing
Easter Monday 21st June 1790.  Fully Indexed.

2. The Price.
The Open Day special price is correct at £10 but thereafter it will be £12.50
(not
£12.00).
