An update.
Last year I visited LMA and viewed my ancestor's medical records thanks to the information provided by jonw65 and bookbox. No doubt some members of my family thought this was a waste of half a day when I'd travelled halfway around the world, but I'm very glad I did. Transport around Farringdon was a bit disrupted due to road/train works but I was impressed by all the new cycle lanes that didn't exist when I lived in London in the late 1980s. Back then I relied on gridlock to prevent me being hit at speed by a vehicle - Kings Rd was safe(ly gridlocked) but I'd dismount for Marble Arch.
I really was in two minds about this. However I learned that she was happy and she seems to have been well looked after.
I finished the day down by the Tower of London at dusk. The sun was setting upstream, there was a band playing the theme from the Dambusters movie inside the tower, and a Chinook flew over with its back door open. I was within cooee of where my husband's gtgt-grandfather was raised in Fair St near the south embankment of Tower Bridge before he emigrated (after his father died of cholera).
