I know this board is read in USA too, does anyone know anything about the Brocks Fireworks factory in NY (USA) I have an ancestor who worked here around the 1880 and possibly killed in a related accident. We know he died abroad and possibly was an American, as I cannot find his birth listed here. I have tried random internet searches but can find little on the factory and its history. Thanks in advance Penny

Thanks Patricia, although the site looks really promising I have had a quick look around it and it seems to be mainly pictures. I will spend a bit more time delving around the many links though, thanks for your suggestion. Penny
