Lightbulb Manufacturers in the UK
« on: December 20, 2009, 04:22:39 pm »
My family has a story that says that an ancestor of mine lost money manufacturing/importing lightbulbs in the UK at the beginning of the 20th century, largely because the firm he bought from was German. The surname I am looking for is Punshon. Can anyone out there help me?
