Twas also mentioned that the last of the weavers who sucked the shuttle have now passed away, however, most of them lived to ripe old ages of 80 >> 90.
So think your mum going to be OK Entwisi.
My mum was 89 herself when she died and always had good lungs .. ran 10 looms most of her life. My father was a cloth looker, died when he was 62, but nothing to do with lungs .. hardening of the arteries. Sadly, if he had been born a little later would have survived way beyond these years, due to medical science and treatment of this condition. He certainly never had any chest problems/bad coughs at all.
