The Census for 1861 showed a multicultural and cross-county household at Hyndburn House, Old Accrington. Head of the household was Frederick Steiner, 70, who had been born in France but was a turkey red dyer, printer and merchant employing 683 people. His French-born wife Emma, 54, did not work and they had a butler from Yorkshire, a footman from Staffordshire, a valet from France, a housekeeper from Westmorland, a ladies' maid from Somerset, a maidservant from Lancashire, two housemaids called Hannah Lamb and Sarah Veal from Yorkshire, another housemaid from Staffordshire and a kitchen maid who had been born in Germany.
Industriel, fondateur de la Manufacture Steiner et Cie à Manchester. Frédéric Steiner et son épouse Emma Beysser sont nés à Ribeauvillé. Frédéric Steiner a quitté sa ville natale vers 1818, voulait-il tenter une expérience professionnelle ou éviter des créanciers qui ne lui laissaient pas la liberté ? On ne le sait pas. Il est parti en Angleterre, à Accrington près de Manchester où il a développé une importante industrie textile. Inventeur d?une nouvelle méthode pour fabriquer le rouge turc (ou Andrinople), il a fait fortune. Très impliqué pour le bien de sa ville d?adoption, il y a laissé une forte empreinte. De nombreuses rues portent son nom ou celui de ses proches. La liste est impressionnante : Steiner Street, Steiner Lodge, Frederickstreet, Emma Street (sa fille Emma, mariée à un Hartmann), Lina Street, Countess Street (sa fille Caroline), Hartmann Street, Tremellen Street?.Un grand parc-le Gattypark- porte le nom d?un autre alsacien, associé de Steiner. Leur fille, Emma HARTMANN-STEINER était une des maîtresses du roi Edouard VII et est décédée à Nice vers 1919.
