I have traced a number of family from Larne to Manchester. I have found Elsie and Mary living in Conway Street Higher Broughton in 1911 census. But 4 brothers in the forces have given their address as 38 Edward Street Higher Openshaw, Manchester. An obituary for one of them states their parents are at this address. Can anyone shed any light on how I can find any street directories with names of residents at that time.
If a William and Margaret are found in Manchester, it means I have made a few mistakes in my genealogy research as I have William's death in Larne in 1895.
Grateful for any help.

Hi
But 4 brothers in the forces have given their address as 38 Edward Street Higher Openshaw, Manchester.
Was this pre or post 1911?
An obituary for one of them states their parents are at this address.
What date was the obit?
Any birthyears for the parents?

What number Conway Street were Elsie and Mary living at in 1911? Can you give the reference, pls, 'cos I can't find them.

Elsie married Edward Minor in 1905 as per above - so 1911 entry is under Minor
-
Oh thanks Carole!!! yes it was Edward who Elsie married.

The obit was for John Richard who died in 1918. The other brothers were Samuel who died in WW1 in 1914, James who died in WW1 in 1916 and Stephen who invalided out and went to Canada. I have all their births and marriage certs but a recent new friendship with a distant cousin sent me the obit cutting which states Margaret and William from Manchester. They were born in Wales and moved to Larne in 1878

Is this 'your' James?

Yes this is James and I have all his war records, thanks. It is just the Manchester links I am after and if I could get the residents of 38 Edward Street it would solve so many missing links.
I have been helped by people on here before under the Antrim board and also the Belfast forum, so its just this last bit that I cannot find.

Hi
Could the address be Ezard Street?

According to John Richard's death, he was from 38 Edward Street, but suppose that could be a typo!

Can you confirm that these Gough brothers, sons of William Gough and Margaret Davis, were born in Larne: Samuel 16 Feb 1884 and James 27 Dec 1890. Also that the family was Methodist.
Information required for Tribute to Larne men killed in WW1.

I can confirm the brothers birth dates are correct. They were both born in Larne and were both baptised at Larne Methodist Church. There were other brothers and one was injured in the first world war. He was Stephen Gough.
Thanks
Tess
Please let me know if you need anything else and I would be interested to see any memorial/publication etc.
