Memorizing business records

According to Official Guinness Records,

Bartholomew Parker Bidder (1809-49), a younger brother of George Parker Bidder, had a remarkable memory. In 1838 he became an actuary to the Royal Exchange Assurance Company. When the firm's records were destroyed by fire he was able to reconstruct them from memory in six months.
