Before signing up for the 1st World War my Great Uncle Charles Hood worked at a place called Fisher, Brown, and Bagley.

Is anyone familiar with this company and what kind of work they did?
 
From 1912 Kellys it seems to by Bayley, not Bagley, unless its a missprint, but it is the same in the 1902 edition.
It was at 118-125 lionel st., and seems to have expanded since 1890, when it was known just as Fisher and Brown (see maps)

Mikejee,

Many thanks for your help. The information I have is taken from a roll of honour. Charles died in Rouen, France in 1917 having twice been wounded in action. There is a misprint with his wifes maiden name so that's probably why there must have been a misprint with the third name.

I can't believe have very knowleagable everyone one is here. Charles was a bedstead maker as was his father, uncles and brothers.
