Firefighter records Somerset 1920's
« on: Saturday 27 July 19 13:13 BST (UK) »
Someone I match to quite strongly on AncestryDNA, 217cM, has an unknown grandfather whose father was said to have been a fireman in Bridgewater, Somerset, during the early 1920's. Does anyone know if there are any public records of who was employed by the fire brigade around that time?

My eyesight isn't what it used to be so can't read this page easily about the firebrigades centenary 1918 onwards, but you might find this helpful

Just to say that it is Bridgwater Somerset, not Bridgewater.
