vintage shotgun??

I recently was shown my great grandfathers shotgun. Its a "thrulock and harris" single barrel, google it but could find nothing about the make. My Father puts it at roughly 100 years old.
Just wondering if anyone has heard of this make or any ideas where i could look.

I found http://www.trulockandharris.com/

Edit: ouch, even though it has the same name, it's not the same company.

I remember seeing a fine lightweight Trulock & Harris boxlock with 30 inch barrels some years ago, an absolute beauty. The owner was in his eighties and told me it was once his fathers. He told me Trulock & Harris were a Dublin hardware store and he believed his gun was Dublin made, possibly by one of the Dublin gunmakers of the time.

Hope this helps.

Thats pretty interesting one dad was always convinced it was a english gun. The one we have is a 32" single barrel.

Thanks for that.
