Glass Industry Research Day

We will hold our annual research day at the Red Cone, following our detailed research into the Stourbridge flint glass industry based off the 1921 Census. The 1921 Census was the first Census where the homeowner had to record both their profession and employers. Therefore you can see who worked for the various flint glass companies (Stuart Crystal, Webb Corbett, Stevens & Williams, etc) and in what capacity they were employed (Glass Blower, Glass Cutter, etc)

We have over 17,000 individuals (Glass Workers and their families) in the Ancestry tree called Stourbridge Glass Industry. We have also created a database of those working in the glass industry.

We can also help in doing general family history research, since we have access to most of the subscription based family history sites – Ancestry, FindmyPast, Fold3, etc.
