With that bombshell, we're going to have to revise our age guesstimate of Siggy!
If it's any consolation - although I wasn't sent up a chimney as a child (they tried, I was too big) I'm old enough to know what a Spinning Jenny was:

No, it's not in my man cave - I threw it out when my exercise bike arrived!
We called it a spinning wheel during my teen years in the 1890s.
Spinning wheel is soooo last century!
So the 47 in siggy47 doesn't mean eighteen forty seven then?..
...damn, I thought I'd finally nailed it.
I am the seventh son of the 47th Siggy.
Great, a clue. I'll dig out my bible and see who begot who.
Who knows, maybe Satoshi named the first block Genesis after you!
Well I'll be a sonovagun.
That gypsy lady...she was right!
I also Googled to find out what a spinning Jenny is
Everyday a school day…. with the exception of the children who are attending the factory, working towards their evening meal.
Or as they would say in the land of the Spinning Jenny;
‘Everyday is eur scozzy day. Except t' kids whoa are daahn t' factory wukkin for thea teea’
After a quick search I now know what a Spinning Jenny is.
