Burke's landed gentry? Written by Bridget D (10/9/2009 2:30 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Where he lived..., penned by Barbara

I would have thought that there was some kind of street directory, but of course you may well be right in that I think W lived in lodgings...and might not have had the same rooms each year... but surely there was some kind of guide to the "landed gentry" like Burkes'? wouldn't that have given teh addresses of landed gentlemen like W.? Besides back then, fashionable London was very small....and as another poster has said Marianne knew where Willoughby lived in London....
