I just thought you might have missed it, I sometimes go cross-eyed when I'm scrolling down posts

If the second letter is a badly formed "a" then why doesn't it look like the one in "maker" ?

Sorry - more questions than answers.

Am I the only to find the idea of a soap maker going into liquidation funny by the way ? Imagine all those bubbles !

It's a good job no one analyses my handwriting to this degree! I form letters in loads of different ways, often depending on what they may, or may not, be joined to on each side.

Not sure it's any help, but I found this about Hydroleine Disinfectants and laundry powders...made by a family called Harrison in Leicestershire

That's interesting Joan, thank you.

No relation to my Harrison's by the way.

I have found another person with New Hydroleine on the 1911 census.

This time it says they are a soap packer employed by New Hydroleine.

Sorted anyway.

Thanks to everyone who helped on this one.
