Lancashire / Re: Business Oxford Road?

not much point in paying a visit then. I was hoping for a picture. I know Manchester, like most of our cities, has been practically rebuilt since the sixties, but small pockets have remained and I hoped it may still be standing. Thanks for your help everyone.

Thanks for your replies, in 1851 I have him in Irk St with Tamar, who may or may not have been his wife, in 1861 he is with his wife Elizabeth and family in Copperass St. I think he left his father Joseph in Yorkshire. He had a stall on Smithfield Market and then later a drapers shop at 310 Oxford St. I have no idea why he left Yorkshire or what the family did.
I have found the family on the censuses, and most BMD certs, but I never think that is enough, and try to find more info, and I have them in some trade directories. I also know that his wife's father William Wall was a hairdresser on Liverpool Rd in the 1830's but nothing else.
I suppose I'll ever really know what happened but the fun is in the trying ;D

Hi Bursy, thanks for the quick response, I have Oxford Rd, but don't have my original data to hand at the moment to check.
 He was William Walker born 1813, variously Otley or Birkenshaw, Yorkshire.
Thanks, this family is very sketchy right upto the 1930's

Lancashire / Business Oxford Road?

Can anyone tell me if there was a business at 223 Oxford Road Chorlton on Medlock, and if so what it was? My gggrandfather was living there on the 1841 census, just listed as salesaman. His father is listed on his marriage cert as manager, what they sold or managed is a mystery!

I feel a bit ripped off, I have just found the link to the cemetery site and found you have to pay!! I use the St Helens site, which is council run, and just as good, and it's free

If you post on the St Helens Connect web site someone is quite likely to help
