Fascinating to see the rapidly shrinking number of livery stables over that time period!

I wonder how many of them switched to owning automobile liveries instead?

Thank you for spending more time on this elusive Tom Hawker. Unfortunately there isn't a name I recognise in any of your lists. I don't have a date or period of time to help either except that my husband clearly remembers the letters which came to the family when he was a boy.
Would St. Johns, New Foundland be the nearest port from England at that time?
I have looked at my tree again but there are so many combination names of Thomas Henry, Thomas James, Norman Thomas, William Thomas etc.
My husband's father was born in 1912 so if he referred to "uncle Tom" surely he would have been born a lot earlier than f-i-l.
I rest my case.
Don't worry too much about this thread. When Tom is ready he will be found.
