Can anyone help me?  : (How can I find out whether William Reveley TENCH had an engineering factory in this area (He lived here.) or whether he was contracted by other factories.  He was an engineer: a bridge builder.

Hi

what year was this that you think Wm Tench may have had a factory?

Garstonite is a font about the area and he may be able to help

What a silly custard I am....OK , if he died in 1908 ...Thanks Cal....there is a William Revely Tench who marries in Leeds in 1906....on www.yorkshirebmd.org.uk (no `e` before the  y )
married a widow
Mary Bell ....nee ,Mary Wilkinson.....wonder if that`s him
possible birth in June qtr 1871 in Houghton Le Spring , Co Durham on freebmd ?.....allan :) :)
ADDED...if we can find William Revely Tench and wife Mary in the 1911 census , we can discount this marriage )
Mr Tibbs, do you know if William married ?
