Brinksway would never have been in Lancashire as it is on the wrong side of the river. Heaton Norris, yes, but not Brinksway.

Hi Pat - yes, you and I know that Brinksway was never in Lancashire - alas, the census enumerators didn't seem to share our view, and I have the returns from 1861 and 1871 to prove it.  I also did differentiate between Brinksway and the later Brinksway Road.  The address in each case was 'Brinksway Road, Heaton Norris, Lancashire'.  I can supply the references if you wish.

Hi Val's granddaughter.
Yes there was a Brinksway and a Brinksway Road, one at each side of the river but connected by a bridge. Brinksway Road would have been in Lancashire and Brinksway in Cheshire, highly confusing for people who don't know the area. Brinksway Road is long gone and was probably somewhere around where the pyramid is now. Brinksway still there but all the old houses gone too. Such a pity that so much was demolished in the 1960's and I just wish I had taken more notice when I was younger!
