Earby
Local History Society has documents relating to a case in the High Court, Chancery Division, between Rev Joel Mallinson (brother of Sir Dyson Mallinson, the bankrupted owner of Victoria Mills) and the executors of Thomas Riley (Dyson Mallinson had a mortgage on the mill with Thomas Riley) - Dated 1891.
Mr. Dyson Mallinson, who belonged to a highly respected Huddersfield family, succeeded to the proprietorship of the Victoria Mill and Old Shed on the removal of the Bracewell family to America.
. The Wesleyan Chapel was crowded, as it was also the first marriage which had taken place in the sanctuary. The workpeople and their families, to the number of 700, were entertained on the following Saturday, tea being served in the Victoria Institute and the Baptist and Wesleyan schools. A gala was afterwards held in the Cricket Field, and a party of gymnastic entertainers provided a thrilling display. Refreshments on a lavish scale were provided, and the village Brass Band played for dancing. At the close of the day the Band paid a visit to Green End House, and played for the enjoyment of the guests.
Within four years, 1885–1889, the Mallinson era in Earby drew to its close, and it was a gloomy experience for the village community. Bad trade, poor work, low wages, and constant unrest breaking out in spontaneous strikes, were the outstanding features of that period. For a short time Mr. Mallinson, with his wife and two children, resided at Heather View, Green End.
In 1900Jan31 he married again, in St. Anne's, Aigburth
, to HELENA JANE KELLEY daughter of John Kelley. She was born 1867 in Heckmondwike
. There is some suggestion that this may have been a bigamous marriage, as although his first wife had 'taken to the bottle', she was not quite dead. (He signed himself at the wedding ceremony as "Bachelor", not "Widower".)
