Hi,

Would be very grateful if you could look up a Thomas Bates who was a Millwright.  He was living in Salford in 1855 and was aged about 38.  He was married with children.

Thank you for your efforts
Cheers,

Hello Blacksheep,

How can I apologise enough for not replying sooner.  I am very grateful for your efforts.  It has given me some addresses to check out.  The mechanic could be a possibility as Millwrights installed the mill machinery as far as I know.

Thank you again and sorry for taking too long to thank you.

Regards
Magrat

easily finds both Edwin age 28 and his mother age 52 (and other children) her age is difficult to read in 1871 so maybe incorrect. If you want them in 1891 or 1901 let me know
