Thanks for the suggestions, I think it is Thos Hutchinson - Crayford as ther is a Thomas Hutchinson, Carpet Manufacturer at Barns Cray, Crayford in the census.

Following the suggestions and looking at the 1871 census I found an Alfred Horsnaill, town councillor & coal merchant in Strood, so I think that is probably our man. Also found John H Spiller in Canonbury Park, North, Islington, a retired wine merchant, so I think that's another match. :)

Still no luck on Frederick, but I can't find a Fred Jaott (or variant) in the census

Hi folks, it is amazing what you can find just by googling - I am always on the hunt for my HORSNAILL family and guess what pops up.

On your list it is definately Alfred HORSNAILL, Strood, Agent.  He is my 3rd great-grandfather.

Hope this helps,
Cheers

Hi again, sorry, but I forgot to ask you where you found this record.  I note that you say 1872, but what was it for.
Cheers

It is part of the Lathe of North Aylesford Licensing records from that year in the Medway City Archives at Strood (and available online through their website).  They also have loads of other local online records too if you are looking for relatives in the area.

Thanks for that - I obviously need to dig a bit deeper, the HORSNAILL are one of my main lines.  Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
