Individual Note: At the time of the 1881 Census Edward was a Brass Roller & Publicanliving at Station Road, Holywell. Near Abbey Farm at Holywell is thesite of the former Abbey Wire Mill, formerly operated by the ParysMine Co. Here, brass and copper wire was produced for use in themanufacture of nails and pins. This ended in 1901 and the site hassince been transformed into a pleasant garden. The brass works of thecompany consisted of eight roasting furnaces, a rolling mill and aniron foundry and vats. The manufactured brass sheet/bars were sent tothe brass mill after they are cut, where they were rolled just as thecopper was at the copper mill, with the difference that one alwaysrolls brass cold. It is heated, allowed to cool, then rolled severaltimes, and this procedure is repeated until the brass reaches theproper thickness.
The annealing of the brass takes place in an annealing furnace, whichis five feet long, four feet wide and six feet high, and which can beclosed with a trap door, which consists of an iron frame lined withbricks. A hearth on which anthracite is fired is brought to each sideof such a furnace, and the smoke flows through an opening in thevaulting of the furnace into the chimney flue, which encloses theentire furnace. The sheets are put on iron wagons, which stand on atrestle which, in turn, is put on a movable spindle on which ironrails are fixed for the wheels of the wagon to run on. The trestle isat the same height as the base of the furnace. The trestle holds twosuch wagons, with one loaded with sheets standing outside, while theother is inside the furnace. When the sheets on the latter aresuitably annealed, the wagon, with the help of two winches, which arefitted on the axle, is pulled onto the trestle, and one turns it sothat the other loaded wagon can be pushed into the furnace.
The rolled sheets are hammered out into vessels of a wide variety ofsizes, in particular, however, bowls, called Neptune's cups, weremanufactured and used in trade round the coast of Guinea inexceptionally large quantities. The bowls usually have a diameter of28 - 31 inches, are four inches deep and have an equally wide rim.They are exceptionally thin, so that they resemble tinsel.
According to the LDS record for Ellen Holland he lived at Greenfieldas a Collier Circa 1874. This latter information is unconfirmed.
