Wondering if anyone can help. An 1840 birth certificate gives the address as George street, in the "Regent Road" sub registration district of Salford. Can anyone tell me which George street this was? There seem to be 2 or 3 possibilities in the Salford area...
Thanks so much

My guess is that it is N George St, just up from Regent Rd, on Google maps. By the Business School.

If you go to http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html?coords=383690,401910 you can see George Street Salford on the old maps. Edit I'm not sure if this is the correct George Street
It is worth a look at the description of the enumeration district to see what the surrounding streets are

No it isn't. It looks as though you have George Street, Broughton

Looking at 1841 enumeration district description, it may be the long street which is almost parallel with Oldfield Road. Barrow Street and James Street connect them and on a modern map is possibly Islington Way.
I used the modern postcode M3 5HP to search oldmaps and the 1851 town plans show it more clearly.
I hope this is the right one :)

what name are you looking for

For the other George Street you can go to http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html?coords=382670,398450 and the 1:500 Town Plan of 1891
In the 1841 Salford Street Index http://www.rootschat.com/links/060v/ there are three entries for George Street

That's the same one that I posted about Stan. :)
I would think that the three entries are because of the length of the street.

This is also a possibility - was Great George Street in 1850 town plan running behind the Adelphi area (Business school now)
Perhaps as Sylvia suggests, finding the family in a census may help to identify. :)

Thanks for all the replies. Re Sylvia's suggestion to look up the family in the 1841 census: unfortunately they'd moved away to Derbyshire by that time. Have looked at old maps, and I can see George Street and New George street coming south off the Crescent, and a continuation on the north side of the Crescent as Great George Street. If this New George Street / George Street / Great George Street is in the Regent Road subdistrict (and it's hard to tell without having a map showing the boundaries), then I think I've got the right place.

This question may have been solved to the original poster's satisfaction but I was looking for it too . I also was looking for where my White family was, with the address given as 12 George street, Regent Road Salford , on one census and the next one they were living at number 10. (It must have been bigger they had a lot of boarders :) )
I think the answer by 'Heywood' is the correct one for my George Street, as I looked at nearby addresses on the census. On the census I have Reg District: Salford, subReg: , Regent Road, Eccl. Parish, St Phillips. Ed 1J . On the previous pages of the census, (so nearby?) is mentioned. Oldfield Rd, Wilkinson Court, and Back Barrow Street.
