Monopoly and Family Feuds

Kings Cross Station, Fenchurch Street Station (known as something else now) and Liverpool Station (or was it Liverpool Street? Seen Trafalgar Square, Pall Mall, Angel which isn't a street in Islington). And haven't gone to Jail. Found a map about my ancestor John Fulford's proposed development near the Foundling Hospital in late 1780s early 1790s together with insurance and surveyor's certificate. The Mews houses are still standing but the actual houses were demolished in the 1920s. Today found a Chancery case where John Burke Ryan's younger brother threw the book at him over the management of their father's estate. Contains lots of lovely information - about 200 camera frames worth so I am now in the market for a good stitiching program to put it all together. I also have in mind a barrister to explain to me the equity of redemption and why the Sheriff exceeded his authority in selling the assets of John Burke Ryan who had been declared an outlaw for not paying is debts - almost three hundred pounds for wine bought. In genealogical heaven!
