                  The bank I am researching no longer exists. How do I find its history and the name of the bank which took it over?

                  Consult J Orbell & A Turton British Banking: a guide to historical records (Ashgate, 2001); which contains a brief history for all banks which had surviving records at the time of publication. This is the quickest way to trace bank take-overs and mergers.
