Hi Tracey and Tony, Thanks for sending on what you discovered at the library. It looks like what i thought is correct, g.g.grandmother, Betty VERITY died in 1875, so that would possibly tie in with the housing development re the Danes Mill land, and she dying there. Thanks for keeping my inquiry in mind when you were at the library, it was very good of you. Have a bonzer week, Norm. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tracey Byrne" <tm75.byrne@tesco.net> To: <ENG-LAN-MIDDLETON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2005 6:52 PM Subject: Re: [ENG-LAN-MIDDLETON-L] Dane House Middleton > Hi Norman > We were at the library yesterday and read an article about the purchase of > land by the Middleton and Tonge Cotton mill company, who owned Dane mills, > to build houses for the mill workers.This land was adjacent to the mills. > The article was in the middleton Albion 1862.
