Thanks to Barbara and Mke for the reply.

Given this new information, will be visiting the area later this week with old and new maps and  try to plot out where everything was!

Hi all

Just researching family history, GF and GGF families all seem to have lived in the Chorlton-On-Medlock / Hulme area.       One address I have is 1 Devonshire Street, which looking at old and current maps of the time looks like it is right underneath the Mancunian Way.      The family then seemed to have moved to Chapman Street, I can't find any mention of this anywhere, has anyone any ideas?      I remember my late Great Aunt (1899 - 1999) talking about going to school in Webster Street, guess this would be 1905 - 1913; she would have lived in Chatman Street.     Tracing back to her father (1861 - 1940), the family lived at that time in Billington Street - anyone any idea where that was?

Has anyone investigated the local church records (are there any left standing  that area??) - if so, have they been centralised at a central Manchester or other remaining local church?

Hope someone can help
