Im afraid not related to the Hepburns but Ben... your comment... I have done extensive research on Holborn. I have even set up a group about the parish of St Alban Holborn on Facebook. I also have a collection of photos of the area.
My great, great grandmother and her parents lived here from 1878 to her fathers death in 1889. They lived at 69 Leather Lane, 9 Portpool Lane, then 18 Evelyn Buildings which is down Dorrington Street, Holborn Above The Bars. Dorrington Street is just north of Furnivals Inn.
Furnivals Inn is just below the Brookes Market and Prudential buildings.
In 1813 my Coombs ancestors lived for a short time at 114 Grays Inn Lane in Holborn.
I am a descendant of the Murrays (Michael Murray circa 1830 - d 1871 at dorrington Street, m Johanna Brian (o'Brien) his son James Murray (circa 1855) lived Gray's Inn Road, Francis Court, Half moon Court, married Caroline (elizabeth) Diall(s) (farrington Road) , son Thomas Murray (1879) Pine Street, leather Lane, m Annie Sewell. all in the area you describe.
