Please Note: By its nature, research and writing on Merchant Networks is not an easy task. Names and contexts can overlap confusingly, more so if a level of detail is reached, in terms of English/British history (and Scottish or Irish), more so where the transmission/inheritance of landed estates needs to be considered in order to indicate the outcomes of individual or familial commercial careers. - Ed.

Soon this website will be fitted with a new file-choosing system allowing better navigation for the website. Please bear with us while the changerover is made from 21 November 2006 -Ed.

Till then, this listing of filenames as given below is organised in the main, chronologically but is interspersed with the names of other files of the website important for normal navigation. The list is still in development. -Ed

By May 2008 the website was added-to with a 10-file series (numerical), which are files listing the years of incumbency of London Lords Mayors, added to with listings (usually six-generation) of the genealogies of the mayors whose family history is available. Recompilings are by Dan Byrnes (who will probably receive updates from e-mailers in due course). The listings are as follows:

File the first - File1 - Listings to 1550

File2 1550-1600

File4 1650-1700
