I have seen a reference to an HEIC writer appointed in 1777 receiving '.his commercial education at Hebden's School, Hounslow'. I can't find anything about this establishment. Could it have been an HEIC college? If not, where would he have received training prior to appointment? He would have been age 18 on appointment. Was this the usual age? This man's father was also supposed to have been an HEIC official although this may have been a misinterpretation of the records. The father was born in 1732. Was there any formal HEIC training at the time he would have been appointed? If so, where would it have been and what records are available? Thank you. David
