Does anyone know if it is possible to look at Banardo's Records? My ancestor Harry Taylor born c1866 was said to have been a foundling, left on the steps of Banardos. He was names, raised and trained to be a shoe maker by Banardos. I have no idea if there was anything known about him at all but would be very interested in looking at the records if it is possible. Any ideas??
