Hi, i know this is from a while ago. but my great great grandfather was also james hodgson chew-his daughter,my great grandmother,eliza ann chew,was born in germany in 1877-i have her birth certificate-in german! my mum told me that people went to germany to see the techniques they were using to dye cloth. i didn't realise that he and his brothers had formed a company on their return-i thought he was a mill owner not a dyer. wonderful to learn this part of my familys history. would love to attach copy of birth cert,but my scanner isnt great and the cert is very delicate-over 100 yrs old!
