This line continues to be utterly fascinating.
Steve, as an aside seeing as how I've written a new history of Reilly and am still researching same, this part of the last post is very interesting:
"As there is both a New Bailey Street and a New Bexley Street, there is no way of knowing if the paper made an error, or if Reuben Hambling moved from one location to another. He didnt stay long in Manchester and later worked for E. M. Reilly & Co. in London, and finally in Ashford, in Kent. Reuben Hambling died in 1891."
Could I ask the source of the information on Reuben Hambling's association with Reilly? It may be from Internet Gun Club. I've joined it a couple of times but at something like 10 a week, can't afford to stick around for long. Many thanks.
(Also, could I crib from this post for the Reilly line or should I ask permission from the source?)
