MARY PICK, daughter of
THOMAS PICK,
and ELLEN -
she was born 16 Aug
1859 and was christened 13 Nov. 1864 at Belgrave, Leicester. Factory production brought about a radical change in the nature of the work force employed in the hosiery industry in Leicestershire. Power-driven machines no longer needed the application of human muscle and so could be looked after by women rather than men and the number of men employed in hosiery was halved in the final decades of the nineteenth century. Fortunatly the problem of unemployment was not as great as it might have been because new industries provided alternative work. Some men went into the boot and shoe industry which expanded rapidly in the years around 1900. This change is seen in the Barnard family in the 1881 census - Mary's father is unemployed and William's parents now have a hotel In
