Contributor Brenda Clifton says


After Mary's death, her son Thomas – my great-grandfather – was concerned about the future for his little sisters, and could not face the thought of them going into the mill.

He expressed his concern to their minister at Booth Congregational Church, who in turn spoke to Enoch Mellor, at Square Church, Halifax. Two of Mellor's Deacons were Frank and John Crossley who had founded Crossley Orphanage and offered to take the girls in. They were amongst the very first orphans there
