Thanks to all of you who kindly responded to my enquiry concerning microfilming companies. Microformat came highly recommended by several of you http://www.microformat.co.uk/ as well as the microfilming service by the London Metropolitan Archives, run by David Tenant. I also received information about two other companies Data Imaging and Archiving Company www.imagingandarchiving.co.uk and LMB Microdata http://www.lmb-microdata.co.uk/, but they do not seem to have had much experience of microfilming old documents, more modern records.
