Hi, I have been told that my ancestors had a Woollen Mill business in Yorkshire, is there any websites that I might be able to look up and verify this

Maybe if you check the census returns for that particular part of the family, you might find out from their occupation. Google their name, place of residence and sometimes DOB. somebody else may already have found out this stuff, especially if they were business owners

Have you tried Googling their surname and Mill. It just might work!
