Hi there, I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good site for unearthing information about who made up the city council in 1745 and or anything relating to businesses/personalities of the time. Any help at all would be much appreciated.

Stuart, apart from the information on the link main page, scroll down to 'Sources' as you may well find more places for your research.
