Baldwin Brushworks Burnley

[burnleyite]

I am a descendant of William and John Baldwin - and am wanting to research further into Baldwin Brushworks but wondered if anyone would be kind enough to suggest informative links to find information. Sadly most of the knowledgeable's have 'left' the family. Now is the time for me to delve deeper but some initial starter pointers on where to hunt would be very much appreciated. Just 'google' gives minimal! Thank you
