English term or phrase: old miller form victorian times

Zastanawiam sie czy tlumaczyc doslownie czy znaczy to cos innego

Explanation:
Propozycja: Miller to co prawda dosłownie młynarz, ale może ktoś użył tego w znaczeniu mill owner, a mill mógł być weaving mill, co bardziej pasuje mi do cytowanego kontekstu i czasów wiktoriańskich...
