Whitehead - Papermakers Derbyshire & various locations
« on: Wednesday 04 February 09 21:54 GMT (UK) »
Hi

I have Whitehead ancestry, originally hailing from Chapel en le frith, chinley, Derbyshire, but moved around the country as a papermaker, Bough Cumbria, Kings Norton, Worcestershire, Tibberton Shropshire.

If you have the same roots, contact me to share notes.

Thanks

My G Grandfather worked in a mill in Bough, cumbria for a while but not sure of the dates. I think the mill still exists but not making paper now.

If you are still monitoring this thread please reply. I have confirmed whitehead ancestors from New Mills but little information other than names and dates to late 1700s
