| CustodialHistory | The donor of these items, K C Leslie explained in his letter accompanying the gift that "They were formerly in the possession of one of my ancestors, William Wilson Burn (1820-1887), of Praed's Bank, Fleet Street. His father-in-law was Thomas William Barnett (1791-1870), surgeon of 72 Fore Street, Limehouse, and it is through this Barnett connection that Burn possessed these documents that have been passed through the family and into my hands." |
