Fosters Mill, Bradford - any info?
« on: Sunday 31 July 05 14:32 BST (UK) »
Most of my relatives through the 1800's and early 1900's worked in mills. The Bradford branch of my family worked in Fosters Mill which I think may have been in Thornton.
I would like any info about the mill and the various occuptions within. The mill also owned the houses in which my relatives lived.
I have tried google but found anything.

Calvert, Thornton, Bradford.
Pickles, Thornton, Bradford.
Rawlings, Somerset.
Clay, Slaithwaite, Huddersfield.
Clayton, Preston, Lanc's
Croston, Preston, Lanc's
Crossley, Preston, Lanc's
Jackson, Preston, Lanc's

Moses, Monmouthshire
Foster, Thornton, Bradford.
gallop, Chew Stoke, Somerset
Shaw, Halifax
Holdsworth, Bingley/Keighley

Hi

Found this page interesting but with out knowing the exact location it may have to be a library job for someone.

Also this interview with a lady who worked for at a Mill  called Foster Mill, read it all very interesting.  But if you want to chick it quickley then do Edit at the top of your homepage then Find on this page and finally type in Foster and it will locate the one word of Foster for you to read just that part,
