Sir Alfred Savage is listed as being a Shirt Manufacturer, I am trying to find any information about him/this company, I believe it was in London near to Old Kent Road!

I know he is on the census, it's the shirt company I am trying to find information about, I think other members of the Savage family were employed or had something to do with this company.

There is a thread on Rootsweb under L for London regarding Sir Alfred Savage.
It said he was christened "Sir".
