It's not a name I know off hand, we have nothing ready on computer, but I'll see what I can find. Bearing in mind that dealers all over the UK used fake names, often ending with "London", it would mean searching manually through over a million entries. Can you give me any clue to the likely date? Have a look at the Datemarks link at www.pianogen.org

metal frame has a circle imprinted on it with 192 H the wooden case also has a number 89674

I then had a look at back of piano and it has a label was a bit faded but managed to get

Scottish co-operative wholesale society Ltd, COUNTRY TRAFFIC,
it has a faded address all i could make out was Larbert
it also was dated 23/11/ 36 or possibly 56
but since the person who had it was in her 80's and she used it as a little girl then im thinking more to the 36?
there also a number i cant make out with the number 653 under it.
thats all I could find?
i have pictures if this helps?

1936 seems somewhere near it with the 192 H mark on the frame.
