Angie Try Historical Directories to see if their surname matches up with a company name. Do you know if the building is still standing and where it was. Someone might be able to help you then Lin

The Francis Frith site is often a good starting point. Have you tried Googling the name of the factory - you have the option of requesting images only.

hiya angie try the library on angel row??? or the archives, do you know roughly where it was? i'd have guess at lace market? if indeed it was lace they produced, and someone else has already suggested the historical directories site put name up and lets see what we can find hugs Julie

Another possibility would be a local history society.
