Title: Webster Place - anyone with Manchester historical knowledge?
Post by: oliver2008 on Sunday 12 February 12 20:19 GMT (UK)

Apologies I don't know Manchester and googling has not helped.  GGG grandparents lived on Webster Place.....part of the ecclesiastical district of All Souls in the New Cross ward.  I can see approximately where that would be and assume it has long gone [last living there 1871] but would be interested to find any historical information about Webster Place/the area. That line of my family tree gets very complicated at this point, trying to unravel who lived where on a street by street basis!

Select the 1891 map (it's the only map that Webster Place is marked on)
