Many thanks for this Mumbles, how fascinating. I remember Somerset House, so Charles Herbert was a Civil Servant there, well they must have been a well to do, well educated family for Charles to reach such dizzy heights as the Civil Service. He must be on an Alumni somewhere. As for Walter Hammersley, there was a Hammersley Tailor's Factory in Cradley, think they were a Cradley Heath family, will look into that, much appreciate the information, thankyou Mumbles, from Linell.
