Looking forTobacco Companys in Bristol
« on: Wednesday 27 January 10 14:37 GMT (UK) »
I have found female ancestors who worked in a tobacco factory in Bristol as cigarette makers and later cigarette box makers.

Is there a list of Bristol Tobacco Cos

Does anyone know if W.D. & H.O. Wills or other tobacco company's had their employees lists made available to the public. I have found one on this website for 1920

www.stiles-genealogy.co.uk/misc/m-willsemployees.asp

I would like any help in finding out more lists between 1890 and 1911.

you could try the Bristol Record office - it's in a former bonded warehouse for tobacco!
