In 1871 Ellen and Henry were living at 20 Ashton Street in Dukinfield with their 3 year old son, Thomas and another lady, Mary Butler. Ellen is a housekeeper, Henry and Mary are working at a cotton Mill factory; Henry as a cotton winder, and Mary as a cotton factory operative.^[1] Based on where they lived they may have worked at Barn Meadow Mills, Dukinfield Hall Mills or Union Mills.
