hi,
We have only just read your quest of last year about the Hurlock Family in st Albans.
Don't know whether you got any further but;
The funeral of your relation, william Hurlock was reported at considerable length in The Herts Advertiser & St Albans Times 16th May 1925 followed by details of his will on the 29th August of the same year. Don't know whether this puts more flesh on the bones for you. We have extract copies of these articles.
Our interest in the William is that one of our relations was a long term senior member of his company. One thing, however, that we have never been able to resolve is that whilst William had some 20 shops throughout London area we believe, but cannot yet prove, that he also had a Hastings connection, either family or business. Do happen to know if there was a connection.
Regards
JB.

Hi Brownlee
Many thanks for your post.  It has been a while since I looked at this side of my tree.  I will get it out and dust it off and let you know of any information I may have.  Will be in touch soon!
