Notes:
The Grant Family came to Bury from Morayshire, Scotland. For a while they ran a shop in the Wylde, later they moved to Ramsbottom where they began cotton spinning and weaving in a small mill previously owned by Sir Robert Peel. Charles Dickens visited the Grants and noted the kindness and thought shown to their workers by the two brothers, Daniel and william. He portrayed them as the "Cheeryble Brothers" in his book "Nicholas Nickleby."
