Hi.....maybe Mr. Hadcocke was the builder of the homes rather than the mill owner, or owned the land on which they were built. Did you ever find out what dialing meant?? Fascinating! mary lou In a message dated 2/28/2010 1:19:07 P.M. Mountain Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Hello Mary Lou, I was thinking along those lines myself. I don't know who owned the mill originally but in later years it was part of the Ramsden estate. I know the Spiveys had a cottage near the Kings Mill in the early 1600s. The Spivey "ing" is shown on an early 1600 survey map of Almondbury made by William Senior, "professor of Arithmetic, Geometry, Astronomy, Navigation and Dialing". I have a print of this fascinating map which, I think, was obtained from the Huddersfield Library. "Dialing" had me a bit puzzled as I didn't think they had phones in those days! Oh yes, the ing was next to the millpond!

Perhaps for mill workers. Who owned the mill? mary lou In a message dated 2/28/2010 2:19:49 A.M. Mountain Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Here's a double-barrelled question. First, to check my maths, which aren't brilliant, we have two grandparents & four Ggrandparents & eight G2grandparents - so we have 2^G Ggrandparents - or something like that, if you catch my drift. Now my G11grandmothers would amount to 2^11 = 2048, according to my little calculator. Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Spivey died at Almondbury 1577. She was my G11grandmother, or should I say one of 2048 of them. Ok? Now place of death was Hadcocke Rawe, Mill or Milne, Almondbury. I presume the Mill was the grain mill on the Colne referred to as Kings Mill that was demolished a few years ago, also known as Queens Mill in the days of Good Queen Bess, so I am told. Can any of you smart genealogists tell me what & where Hadcocke Rawe was? What was a Rawe? Best wishes, John Spivey PS I've already tried Googling.
