Hello Bernice, Thank you very much for the additional information especially that concerning the brushmakers and their descendants; as you say this clearly a task for Google. The name of Kent as a commercial brush maker rings a bell; it was a one time a prominent brand, but I have not seen it advertised for many years. Best wishes from a bright, but cloudy East Anglia.
