There is a book - "The Old Derby Silk Mill and its Rivals" by Harry Butterton  - very interesting it is too - he seems to have much f his research in the Local Studies Library in Irongate, and also the Museum - which I also take to be the Inudstrial Museum in the Silk Mill rather than Derby Museum in the Wardwick.  He does name a number of people. such as wm hutton who worked there from the age of 7 and had high pattens specially made for him to reach the machinery.
If you give me a name I'll look to see if they are men tioned in the book.
