:-(( just realised I have 2 Robert Whitcomb Dennings - do you agree that the older one (b1852) is more likely to be the hotel owner rather than the one b1879? Or would 26 be a reasonable age in those days? in 1901 the older one is in Chelsea and the younger in Westminster if that helps?? xx Jen |

Well, I can tell you that Lancaster Gate is a POSH area, near Harrods. Well the first one above is! Opposite Hyde Park, I used to work there - not at the hotel. Praed Street is in Soho district I think. May be there is another one. |
