Bear in mind also that people lived as near as possible to where they worked, often in houses owned by the mill owners themselves. So their address should give you a clue aswell |

Have you tried a google search with the name of your ancestors and then "leeds mills 1901-1911". (or whatever date) It might bring up a historical society or group of people who offer information about the lives and occupations of mill workers. That might give you a start. |
