Hi Cliff, how great that you have found my post. Always a thrill to link up information for people. Hope you can open the file ok. Hopefully the shop is still there, and you can obtain the family bible after all these years . Let me know how you get on.

Hi there, I am looking for records regarding a George Harding who lived at 6 College St , in the City of LOndon, at the property of the Innholders company. He was a Beadle of the company for over 20 yrs from at least 1861 till he died in Dec 1882. Just wondering if someone could do a lookup for records pertaining to his employment at the Innholders Hall, or his Freedom to the City of London. I believe the Guildhall Library may hold some records for the innholders in Ms 6649 Rough Court minute books 1803 - 78 and Ms6652 Freedom admission registers 1733 - 1921

He was supposedly born between 1802 - 1810 in Lambeth, son of a Richard Harding. I have been unable so far to trace his birth, and I have no info on his mother. Prior to becoming a Beadle, he is listed as a general dealer in Lambeth/Newington.

Any help gratefully recieved
Sincerely, Martin Eloury

thanks Ruskie, Those entries sound promising, Georges first children were called George, Ann, Rosetta, and Margaret Jane. Are there any more details about Richards marriage to Ann?
