Offer to assist research in London and Home Counties, UK

Question

  I live in Surrey, UK, and work in Central London.                                                             So geographically, I may have access to institutions or locations that may be of interest to WikiTree genealogists from overseas...                                                                                                                                             With this in mind If there is a WikiTree member who needs a little "Shoes on the ground" type assistance with an institution or perhaps a photo taken of a particular site of interest, please, let me know, I'd be happy to assist in just about any none too techi way I can.                                                                                                                        Please note, from my limited previous experience, if I'm to act as representative, within some institutions I may need a letter of proxy / authority.                                                                                                                      But if you need a photo of 'great aunt Bertha's' last UK Home County resting place, I'll be happy to help                                                                                                                                    Tony

Thanks for the offer - great idea

Perhaps it might catch on to other areas.

Answer 1

Tony, that is a generous offer. I live in Brisbane Australia which is a long way from London. I have ordered a few bits and pieces from the National Archives in Kew online, but a couple of bits have proven impossible to order online and can only be found in person. I have the file references etc but I wonder if your offer extends to Kew?
