[The 'Darwin' in the partnership was William Erasmus Darwin, eldest son of Charles Darwin].

Sotonopedia says that Maddison, Pearce and Hankinson in 1869 merged with the Southampton and Hampshire Bank to form the 'Union Banking Company', a predecessor of Lloyds. The Lloyds Banking Group Archives online index shows Grant & Maddison Union Banking Company taken over by Lloyd's in 1903, and says Grant & Maddison Union Banking Company was established in 1869.

Lloyds Archives shows the firm as Sadlier [sic] Hilgrove, Lowder and Durrell [sic].
