help please
« on: Tuesday 24 August 10 21:16 BST (UK) »
Hi All

Not sure the best place to post this so here goes.

I have a relative (gg aunt) who died in 1931 and on her death certificate her occupation is listed as weaver at cotton mill, what I wanted to ask is would there be any way of finding out which mill she was employed at.  At the time of her death she lived in Chorlton street, Openshaw, Manchester.

I know it's a bit of a longshot but any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance
