Was there a piano company named Stodart and Dunham?

There was certainly a firm called Stodart, Dunham & Worcester, who were connected with Dubois & Stodart in New York, and it is quite possible that Worcester came or went at some point, but we are in the UK, you need local history from NY.

According to

"As early as 1845 the [Nordheimer] company was an agent for Stodart & Dunham of New York, Chickering of Boston, and other US piano manufacturers"

1836 Adam Stodart was part of the firm known as Stodart, Dunham & Worcester. Worcester soon withdrew, leaving Stodart and Dunham, 361 Broadway.

1836 Stodart & Dunham serial numbers are listed from 1836 to 1875, but Stodart doesn’t seem to have been there after 1870, so the last number is probably hypothetical.

1845 The Nordheimer company was an agent for Stodart & Dunham of New York.
1867 Dunham’s son John B. Dunham junior joined, and the firm became Dunham & Son, 111 East 13th. OR...
1870 Stodart withdrew, the firm became became Dunham & Son.
1875 Dunham & Sons ended.
