Thomas William Abraham 1829-1897, father of Alfred Abraham

Thomas William Abraham was the eldest son of Thomas Abraham (the first of the Abrahams to own the Mill).

For some time, it had been assumed that this was because the older brother was not involved with the Mill, though there is some evidence that he was.
