Re: DR makers - similar names?

Hope no-one minds me taking this off topic, but I've gotta say that you guys are helluva good!
I've just had the message below.....and pics are below. Thanks for your help!
Now all I gotta do is find out what Lineman for Lerwill means!
Dear Mr Robinson,
I have been forwarded your enquiry by David Ingles of Charles Hellis gunmakers London as I hold the company records temporarily for research purposes.
gun number 4234 is described as a 12 bore A&D non ejector with 26" barrels and 2 triggers (Reliable model). It was built and placed into stock on 1st July 1938 and sold in November of that year to Lineman for Lerwill for £12.10 shillings.
The gun was built to Hellis's specification by William Howell of Birmingham.
Hoping this information proves helpful to you,
