I've found out what a forge puddler is and it sound like a pretty awful job, no wonder they died young, but i can't find our what a furnace boy was.

I have quite a few ag labs and a lot of my aunts worked in the cotton mills. There are also Forge Hammer Men also Forge Puddler ages 15,  a Furnace Boy aged 8 , Worsted Spinners and Weavers, Silk Pickers.

I would live to know what funace boy, forge puddlers and silk pickers did .

Shropshire / Thomas Williams circa1776-9 born Bridge North
« on: Thursday 23 August 07 12:56 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find out where THOMAS WILLIAMS was born and who his family was.
All I know is that he was born 1776-9 on the 1851 census his birth place was Be-North and his age was 72,
by then he was a Chelsea Pensioner [out pensioner] and was living with his family in  Bradford East End.
Can anyone help?

In some census Bentham is in Yorkshire and in others it's in Lancashire.
Most of the male Beaumonts ended up in Chadderton Oldham.

Thank you for the replys they sounds like the correct family.
Margaret is My Grt Grandmother and she Married John Williams[before 1861 census] who is from Bowling in Bradford so I think that is correct
Thank you once again
