Title: Holderness road Mill 1847 / Aaron Baker
Post by: Bagsypenang on Thursday 15 September 11 11:23 BST (UK)

A recent message I posted revealed that my x3 Great Grandfather Aaron Baker 1793 - 1874 could have owned a Mill on Holderness road in Hull. An article from the Hull Packet dated Jan 8th 1847  says  "P. C. Lyth, 30 produced a sample of corn he had taken at Mr Aaron Baker's mill, on Holderness road". In another article dated Jan 9th 1852 it mentions " Aaron Baker, Miller, Newland, Newland could just be the area he lived.

 Does anyone have any information on

1. The Mill in Holderness road in 1847 and was it owned by a Aaron Baker?

2. A Newland mill on Beverley road Hull [tower type] I think, details on the mill and who owned it?

Thank you.

Thank you for the information Ladyhawk. I am travelling today from Malaysia to Hull, so will try to gain more when I visit the History Centre there.
