Woodeaves Mill - Tissington
My great uncle John Hilton Yates was manager of the mill from around 1882 at least to 1901. He can be found there in the 1891 and 1901 censuses, and his second son Percy was born there in 1883. His first wife Sarah died in 1895, aged about 37, and eldest son Alfred in 1898, aged 16. I notice a mention of John Milton Yates but this must be a mis-spelling because he is clearly entered as John Hilton Yates in those censuses and his mother's maiden name was Hilton.
