Families

The Whitworth family of LuddendenfootRef 242-2624
Mill-owning family in and around Luddendenfoot.

Significant members of the family have included John Whitworth, Robert Whitworth, Richard Whitworth, and John Whitworth.

Businesses such as Whitworth, Ashforth & Ashforth, John & William Whitworth, Joseph W. Whitworth Limited and Robert Whitworth & Company were important in the area.

In December 1860, the family's mills at Luddendenfoot employed a large number of pauper factory apprentices who had been sent by the Poor Law Unions in the south of England. The system of apprenticing poor children caused umbrage in the district, and the locals were in the habit of insulting the apprentices, calling them white slaves and other degrading names

The Whitworth family of the Ryburn ValleyRef 242-2805
It is recorded that the Whitworth family of the Ryburn Valley were well-known as makers of hats and bonnets.


Question: Can anyone confirm that the family were makers of hats and bonnets? Were they connected to the Whitworth family of Luddendenfoot?
