Surrey / Benjamin House, Southwark, Surrey

A possible ancestor, William Deely, was made a freeman of the City of London around 1750, and his residence is listed as Benjamin House, Southwark. Anyone know how I can find out where this was?

Inverness / Dugald Thompson and Anne MacLean-Moidart

Looking for any information on the above couple from Moidart, and most likely Glenuig.

They emigrated to Pictou, Nova Scotia in 1810, with children Alexander b. 1806, and Mary b. 1808.

Anne MacLean's father was Duncan MacLean, and her mother was either his first wife, Mary MacIsaac, or his second wife, Cicely MacDonald.

Her older brother or half-brother was Donald MacLean b. 1760, who emigrated to Pictou, Nova Scotia in 1791.

Due to the ages of her children, Anne MacLean may have been born of her father's second wife, or had older children who didn't make the journey. I would estimate her birth around 1775, give or take.

Nothing is known of Dugald Thompson, other than the name is very uncommon in Moidart.
