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?

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