When I went digging through the materials my sister sent, there was a photocopy of the Hollinshead family tree he drew up. There is also page 617 from J. P. Earwaker: East Cheshire, Past - Present, volume II 1880 which shows the family tree of the Hollinsheads of Heywood. In the 1830s there were silk mills in Salford, Broughton and Eccles as well as in Macclesfield, so perhaps your silk weaver relatives worked at one of those. Relatives of my mother still own a silk mill in Macclesfield and my cousin Robert is a master weaver. Regards, MIke
