The family i have no idea; however; if they were employed as hatters then i understand that the poisonous metal antimony was used to bend the felt fabric.This would have a cumulative effect like lead.

RedRoger,

The family were called "Hatter".

They were NOT employed as hatters! ;D ;D

That should be obvious from the wording of my response given above!

Rather superfluous, and it was mercury that was used and caused poisoning of [mad] hatters.

You are of course right about the mercury.But if you check you will find antimony was also used as a yellow dye!

I'm still puzzled why an Allotment Farmer would want to use mercury or antimony?! ;D ;D ???
