In my tree I have a George Dobbs, born abt 1866 in Cinderford Gloucestershire. His father was George Dobbs born abt 1841 in Weston and mother Lavinia Dobbs. On 1891 census George junior age 25 unmarried was shown to be working as "An agent at Singers Works". Could anyone tell me if this was the Singer Sewing Machine Factory or some other manufacturer? Interested as one of his ancestors in 1950 also worked at a Sewing Machine Factory as a Sewing machine repair man in Yorkshire. Regards Jean Herbert
