Biography:
1. Thomas Cook was taken on as an Apprentice in the Mixing House in August 1789, and was paid 1/-d per day (Supply 5/213 dated the 22nd August 1789). He remained an Apprentice until some time in 1793, but as his name is not included on the List of Employees dated the 31st August 1793 (Supply 5/216) it must be assumed that by that date he had left the Mills.
