Robert Hudson^ and Wm Bayliss were agents.

#          Wickham records show these works numbers with a suffix “A”, but it is unlikely that these works numbers were carried on the completed trolleys.

##        Three separate order numbers.  No engines supplied by Wickham.

**        There is limited information on these trolleys, but there were separate order numbers for the five batches shown

^         An email from Ian Jolly confirms Robert Hudson as an agent - apparently orders were placed through that company, and then delivered directly to the customers address: further information on ths company can be found on Wikipedia
