For those of you who trace booktrade personnel, what would you do with T. Morley in this record? Trace as bookseller? Not trace at all? Unlike formal groups of assigns, which are given existence as a formal body with reciprocal references to the person who assigned the rights, this is a case of two individuals without any connection embedded in their NARs.
