the cheeryble grants
was a grandson of Mr. Dinwiddie, of Hampson Mill, who gave employment to the Grants when they came to Lancashire in 1783; [1] in whose works the Cheerybles and their brothers served their apprenticeship to the calico printing, and from, whom they received much never-forgotten kindness.[2] The portrait was given to Mr. Kaye as that of his ancestor, Mr. Dinwiddie, of Hampson Mill, who was his great-great-grandfather. Mr. Kaye's mother was a daughter of Mr. Cornelius Whittenbury — a brother of Mr. Robert Dinwiddie Whittenbury of Ramsbottom.
Mr. Dinwiddie evidently spent his closing years in retirement in Yorkshire.
