Hickson, Lloyd & King

A Memory of Manchester.

Can anyone tell me something about 'Hickson, Lloyd & King', they were a wholesale warehouses based in Piccadilly, first on Market Street then on Portland Street? It is the Portland Hotel now owned by Thistle. My family told me that Hickson was my great great grandfather, but I would like to know more because I have hit a brick wall. If anyone can help me break down this wall I would be very grateful.
