I have looked online and found that this was at Chilworth, Surrey. The following is information about the Chilworth Gunpowder Works: Chilworth Gunpowder Works was one of the largest, most prestigious and longest-lived powder mills in the country. Established by the East India Company in 1625, it was worked by a string private companies and became one of the most significant suppliers of gunpowder to the Government. In 1885, a consortium which included leading German powder manufacturers acquired the works to produce a new type of gunpowder known as 'brown' or 'cocoa' powder, for use in the largest guns of the day. By the end of the 1880s, and after extensive rebuilding, contemporary commentators regarded the factory as being of international standing. The most up to date machinery was imported from Germany, and to preserve the company's manufacturing secrets the new factory was managed by a former Prussian officer, Captain Otto Bouvier, and a number of German foremen. The company was also at the forefront of the development of new chemical propellants and in 1892 it erected the first commercial cordite factory in the country. It underwent further expansion during the First World War, but the massive downturn in the demand for explosives at the end of the war resulted in the closure of the factory in 1920. Subsequently many of the factory buildings were converted into dwellings, and a small community known as 'Tin Town' lived in the valley until the early 1960s.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
