I purchased a copy of a Kaiapoi Woollen Mills receipt a while back and during an office tidy came across it again - the tidy got promptly put aside as I decided to poke about that rabbit hole, what I found was quite surprising...
Last night I was doing a bit of wool mill research (as you do on a Friday night) and I found something that stopped me in my tracks! It’s a historical Census for 1910.In it had some extremely specific numbers that made me so excited!
