Title: Thomas Fawell in Chatham Papers
Post by: Matt62 on Saturday 01 June 19 22:07 BST (UK)

I think that one of my ancestors may be referred to by name in the index to these papers of Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger, as follows:

https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=mcgqAQAAMAAJ&dq=Letter+and+affidavit+from+agent%2C+Thomas+Fawell%2C+about+a+seizure+of+oats+by+customs+at+Stockholm&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=fawell

"29 March 1796 - Letter and affidavit from agent, Thomas Fawell, about a seizure of oats by customs at Stockholm (208 - 212)"

My Thomas Fawell (1759 - 1741) of Yarm was a corn merchant and I am curious to find out more about this letter to discern if it was sent by him.

Could anyone tell me how or where I might access these documents?
