There is a specialist FHS for those researching brush and broom makers!

The Society of Brushmakers Descendants!

Here are some recent examples of how successful we can be in helping to
trace brush and broom makers:

Member 478 joined end of 1999,  researching MASON
A visitor to our website soon offerred information on Masons', as his
father worked for them in the 1930s-60s!
Member 481joined 2000, researching LEWIS in Bethnal Green, Also
BEAUMONT.
Member 484 joined a few weeks later, researching the same name, same
place!
Member 489 joined March 2000 researching Chamberlain; .
Another new member (493) joined June 2000, also researching CHAMBERLAINs
one of whom worked for Mr Mason!

AND- we already have other members researching all of these names,
including several BEAUMONT researchers!

None of these people knew each other before joining the SBD!

Join a family History Society where fellow members interests are not
only related but were employers, employees, colleagues, apprentices of,
or to your ancestor!
