This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TmQ.2ACIB/1163.1 Message Board Post: The firm is probably called "Curtis and Hawes". I have both Curtis and Hawes ancestors, but this company is actually not linked to either of them - just a coincidence. If you want any further information, I have a photo of the shopfront in London. I did a websearch on the company and came up with a bit of information about when it was started and who by. Don't know the www reference now, but you may be able to find it.
