I am interested in any information about quarrying in the Ulverston area around the 1900's, two  of my fathers brothers moved there and became quarrymen, unfortunately I have no further information.

Barrow Archive has some documents on this under reference  BDBUC - Buccleuch Estates, Furness - 18th century-20th century https://archiveweb.cumbria.gov.uk/calmview/record.aspx?src=calmview.catalog&id=bdbuc
There is also the book Burlington Blue-Grey: A History of the Slate Quarries, Kirkby-in-Furness by R Stanley Geddes published by the Author 1975; 2nd ed pub 1991; ISBN 0 9504785 0 4, Kirkby in Furness is around 5 miles northwest of Ulverston.
Depending on the year the 1901 or 1911 census may give their location and occupation at the time.

Many thanks for your reply to my queery about Ulverston quarries. I have checked the census records for my relatives and found they were living at Lowick Green, Lancashire, with an occupation only given as Quarryman. I don't suppose this helps much?

If they were at Lowick Green then in all possibility they were employed at the slate quarry there. Barrow has some records LOWICK GREEN SPADE FORGE, GAWTHWAITE SLATE QUARRY; LOWICK GREEN INDUSTRIAL & PROVIDENT SOCIETY Reference:   BDB 19, but these are 19th Century are before the date you are looking at.
You could search CASCAT for Lowick Green, it may turn up something, https://archiveweb.cumbria.gov.uk/calmview/advanced.aspx?src=CalmView.Catalog
