Thanks, everyone- I'll have a good look at these sources.
I remember being told by my late father that Millhouse Green was famous for umbrella making- he was b. + brought up at Hade Edge/ Harden, Holmfirth but went to Penistone Grammar in the 1930's and worked pre-war as an office boy at Hepworth iron Co., so that area was "on his radar".
I was wondering if there was an umbrella link with my gggrandmother Hannah Swire, umbrella maker of Holmfirth who wed ( maybe because she was claiming to be "of age" but wasn't) in the Wortley/Penistone area in 1860.
Would she have made umbrellas for her clog+ patten-maker father or might she have been an out-worker for the Millhouse Green factory, I wonder? or even employed there.
A minor point in the family's story but I do find the work and education of my forebears really interesting.
