Chauffeur

I think I counted around 9 or 10 motoring offences by 1909.

There are no Cormacks listed at Albert Hall Mansions in the 1902 or 1905 London PO Directories

Following on from Shaun's reply, no-one named Cormack is at Albert Hall Mansions in the 1911 census. However there was a William Godsell Curnick (b 1859), meat dealer at 15 Albert Hall Mansions. The reporter may have misheard, or the name may have been deliberately mispronounced so as not to embarass his employer.

Andy has nailed it.

"William G. Curnick, Ditton House, Long Ditton, Surrey, to Margaret Ethel, elder daughter of the late W. N. Grainger, Esq., and Mrs. Grainger ...."

That's brilliant! - Many thanks.

My father (Maitland's Nephew) was driving a van for a meat dealer, in Kilburn, in the 1930s - perhaps there was a family connection?
