I am trying to trace where my great grandfather came from and the name of the person that he married.He was known as H.H. and he had five children.He owned 2 mills in Huddersfield,Yorkshire and would have been born in the 1850s/60's. My grandmother Florence was born in Stalybridge and she had two sisters-Mary and Gerty and two brothers,Reg and Kenneth. Reg and Kenneth were each given a mill and the girls were given dowries.Kenneths son Brian emigrated to Canada
HH started out as a hand loom weaver, so where did his wealth come from?

Does this ring any bells for anyone?
