Title: York Buildings, Leftwich c 1861
Post by: gilesc on Monday 24 January 11 21:55 GMT (UK)
Hello,
Does anyone have a map which shows the whereabouts in Leftwich of York Buildings? My ancestors lived there in 1861. If anyone knows any of the history of York buildings that would be great. Prior to this they lived in Ray's Brow Gt Budworth in 1841 so if anyone knows anything at all about the Gt Budworth address that would be a real bonus.
All the best
Carolyn

Yes same family. Odessa has helped me loads ( same family also, and expert) So now there are 3 of us tracing the often elusive Whittinghams. This is good. Regards
Carolyn.

Hi Not sure about York buildings but there was a Yorkshire building roughley where the Memorial Hall stands

 go to Northwich map,on the modern map on right move the map to the left should bring you to town centre you should see a double pink highlited road zoom in to maximum then look at map on left click on 1875 you should see Yorkshire building

In the 1881 Census there is a Yorkshire Place in Leftwich. No. 1 is at RG11; Piece: 3523; Folio: 21; Page: 10. There are 148 inhabitants in the whole street.
