1841 census Manchester

[Shelagh]

I have discovered my relatives in the 1841 census in Manchester. The source information is HO107/575/13, the registration district is Manchester and the sub-registration district is St George and the EDn institution or vessel is 25.
I wondered if anyone could help me establish exactly where in Manchester that would be.
Many thanks

Without the folio it's a bit difficult to pinpoint the exact street.  I chose one at random which was New Mount Street and was able to check that it still existed by looking it up on www.streetmap.co.uk not far from Victoria Station, and a short distance from Strangeways.

what is the name of your relative.That would pin it down correctly.The folio numbering is abit odd with the1841. I am getting Angel Street on 24 but need a name to find 25

We too have traced relatives to St Georges.

This helped locate the area concerned.

If you know Manchester at all the chirch in question still exists and was once next to a 'temporary' flyer from the 1960's (now demolished).

The used to be crammed with 2 up 2 down dwellings and other terraced accomodation.

Hope that helps.

The surname is actually McEwen but I was sent the ref and the person sending said it looked like McCome.

Someone else mentioned Angel St.

Thank you all for your help, I look forward to going to M/c to see the street, lots of other houses where my family lived no longer are standing.

Hi Shelagh
For info Time Team did a dig in that area last year. Follow the link below and click on the 4th photo down and you will see Angel St at the top with Dyche Street running off northwards. Other links on that page give a glimpse into the life of mill workers in the area, although you don't say what your rellies did.
