Postal districts and registration and other whatever districts are completely different.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Sealey Street Manchester.
« on: Tuesday 16 December 25 11:40 GMT (UK) »
Thanks. I know where the various districts start and finish, but what I was getting at is where people say they actually live. Some areas close to a border are referred to as different places by different people....and it still happens today. Old Trafford /Stretford, Walkden/Little Hulton, Crumpsall/Cheetham Hill to name but a few, but does it really matter?
Never thought of the Etihad as being in Newton/Newton Heath, but as I was just saying; different people refer to places by different names.
Regards

On A-Z's, " A street name, followed by the name of another street in italics, does not appear on the map, but will be found adjoining or near the latter".
Sealey street is in what was known, and still is, known as Monsall, although, in the past it was often referred to as Collyhurst. I think it was sometimes referred to as Miles Platting with being near the end of Queens Road. I had ancestors who lived in that area and at the end of Collyhurst Road, just before the railway, and they both mentioned Miles Platting on occasions.

Many thanks for that. I thought they would be one and the same.
As you say, the F's and the T's.
Thanks, Eric

Hi
I've been looking at the record of an Inquest for a James Hibbert, 25 Oct 1878.
It seems to say that the Inquest was held at "The Four Freddlehoyle Inn" Barnsley (Presumably Pogmoor).
When I Googled the Inn it came up with "Tom Treddlehoyle" in Pogmoor.
Are they the same places?
Regards, Eric.

There is a Joseph Meakin b 1875 in Stockport in 1901.
I can't make out his occupation fully, but it seems to be "Coach something", I think.

Thanks again.
Now I know the location of these places the hard bit starts. Finding these people 20/30 years on and hoping they are where I want them!! Easier said than done.
Many thanks, Eric

Thanks all. I was sure Oldham Rd used to be Newton Lane. The piece on the Tibb looks familiar. That may have been where I saw it.
The area of Ancoats mentioned in the articles looks favourable. The people I'm looking at were in that general area for many years, so it looks as though I'm on the right track. I do like the mention of Poland St.
There is some 50 years between the references to Newton Lane & Gt Newton St. but I would imagine they stayed in the General area most of the time. In fact the one born in Newton Lane was at Oldham Rd when he died.
Plenty to work on now.
Many thanks, Eric.

Thanks. Not the answer I was hoping for. I was hoping/assuming Grt Newton St was in the Ancoats area. Newton Heath throws a spanner in the works.
I think I've been down this road before ( pardon the pun) and I think I found this map at the time.
I think I'll have to look at some directories next time I'm at Central Library. The address I've got in 1806 is Cropper's Buildings, Gt Newton St. Man
Thanks, Eric
