Not a right good book for information then is it, if it only mentions a 26 HP steam engine, that one was one of the 4 at Broad Oak, & makes no reference to the others. Plus is says spinning and weaving. Broad Oak were Dyers, Finishers & Printers.
Another thing where did they get the population count from, the first real census and population count was in 1841.
