Title: What is the name of this Mill in Bradford? HELP!
Post by: Hobbit Frodo on Saturday 30 August 14 16:54 BST (UK)

Hi,

I have been tring to work out what the highlighted Mill name is on this 1891 census. Jane Dutton (highlighted) is my great great grandmother and Arthur R Dutton (highlighted) is her son. It looks like she was a Twine Baller in a Mill in Bradford in 1891 like the person listed abover her but I can't for the life of me work out the name. They were living on Gibbon Street in Bradford at the time but I can't find a mill listed there. It looks like Hasel or Flasel Mill but that can't be right! Any help gratefully received!

Many thanks

Frodo

OOoooooh OK, that's a good thought and makes way more sense than what I've been trying to make out of it! Many thanks!
