Austin dealer in Kingston...Jamaica?

I've located a late '30s newspaper advert for the Famous Austin Seven from John Crook Limited, 7-11 Hanover St. Kingston.

Since my Austin 7 is from Jamaica, I'd love to think this was the Kingston, Jamaica dealer who imported and sold it, but my research fails to reveal a Hanover Street in Kingston, Jamaica.

I've looked for all the Kingstons in the UK, and have found ten, all of which appear to be too small to support a automobile dealership. Can anyone help with either a confirmation that this dealer was in Jamaica, or that it could have been one of the following Kingsons?

Kingston, Buckinghamshire, GB
Milton Keynes

Kingston, Cambridgeshire, GB
Cambridge

Kingston, Cornwall, GB
Callington

Kingston, Devon, GB
Kingsbridge

Kingston, Dorset, GB
Sturminster Newton

Kingston, East Lothian, GB
North Berwick

Kingston, East Sussex, GB
Lewes

Kingston, Hampshire, GB
Ringwood

Kingston, Isle Of Wight, GB
Ventnor

Kingston, Kent, GB
Canterbury

Thanks!
David

Found John Crook Ltd in Jamaica

Just found that John Crook Ltd. is still in business in Kingston Jamaica, on Spanish Town Road. Will keep you posted on my info exchange with them.
