Hi I'm trying to find any records of 12 Midway Street, Levenshulme Manchester during the years 1939-1943, My Grandfathers cousin Nellie Louisa Brenkley was living there when she gave Birth to her second son Terence, the main person living there was a woman called Mrs Peach, apart from that I don't have anymore information, i'd like to know what Mrs Peach's first name was and would she have had any family?
If anyone finds anything i'd be very greatfull. I've looked on every site so someone else might know more than me.
Thanks
DJS

Does the name Mrs Peach come from the 1939 register or was she on the birth certificate as informant?
When was Nellie Louisa born?
-
Hi Mrs Peach's name appears on the next of kin on Nellie's hospital record when Nellie gave birth to Terence. Nellie was born in Oswestry, I just want to know more about Mrs Peach
-
Right next of kin so she was a relative of some kind then.
Have you searched the 1939 - when was Nellie/Terence born? She may have been living with Mrs Peach I was thinking.
-
The address on the birth certificate is 12 Midway Street Longsight.
Terence was born 20 Nell Lane Withington in 1941.

Yes that's right but Mrs Peach wasn't a relative she was just a friend. Terence was born in 1941 so there was no electoral roll that's why I want 1939 and 1945/6

The address on the birth certificate is 12 Midway Street Longsight.
Terence was born 20 Nell Lane Withington in 1941.
Yes that's right I have the Birth Certificate. It should say Levenshulme even though it's under the Longsight registration district

Unfortunately we are not allowed to do 1939 look ups.

I have done a free street search for Midway Street and number 12 is missing.
There is a big link between Longsight and railways.
There is a Peach family who seem to be working on the railway as guards. Did your grandfather have any connection with the railway?

Hi we're not related to the peach family. Mrs Peach was just Nellie's friend

Hi DJS,
In the Kelly's Directory for 1940 there is a Mrs Annie Peach listed at 12 Midway St, Longsight.

Thankyou Barbara that's the name I was looking for, does it say anything else?
-
I'm afraid not, usually the directories only give you one name; the name of the person who supplied the information and their occupation if they have given one. At least you have a first name Annie now.
-
So Annie is married by 1940.
Assuming she married in Lancs there are a couple of possibles to check out. Although I'm not sure how you would check them out :-\ but here goes
Dec 1930 Manchester S - 2 possible children from this marriage
Peach Albert V
Graham Annie
Jun 1933 Salford
Peach Reginald S
Macdermott Annie

Hello DJS
I've only just seen your post because I just happened to type in Midway Street, Levenshulme to see what came up. I was born at number 44 Midway Street - my paternal grandmother's house - in 1948. Number 12 was at the top of the street, nearer to Stockport Road, number 44 was towards the bottom of the street, close to the Manchester/London railway line. My Mum and Dad eventually settled at number 37 Midway Street. I remember Mrs Peach very well, she was a lovely lady and one of the few people my Mum respected! She had a lovely daughter, Sheila. When I was very young, at primary school, I had found some red nail polish and put it on. The headmistress at Crowcroft Park school was furious when she saw it and demanded I removed it before the following day. Mum said, "Go and ask Mrs Peach if Sheila has any nail polish remover". So I did. She hadn't! I got another, bigger, telling off the next day. Hope this is of some interest to you. Kind regards, Jan

Midway street is (sorry) “midway” between Levenshulme and Longsight along the A6 - I don’t know exactly where the boundary between the two is.
As for being born at “20 Nell Lane”, that would be Withington Hospital.

Hi Jan thanks for your story it's been a good read. I've tracked down Sheila and i've sent her a letter this afternoon. Thanks, Daniel.
