Hello Jo

The Manchester and Lancashire Family History website www.mlfhs.org.uk has the maps for sale and how they join up with each other . Have a look at the bookshop section .

You can go on the website of www.artus-familyhistory.com/source/Early%20Maps.html and click on early maps and in particular Manchester 1874 . Just to the right of Strangeways you will see Ashley Lane and it gives a good idea of the area .
Good luck.

Hi Jo,

(wrote this just before Eric posted!)

that is such bad luck, Ashley Lane starts on the NW map and crosses over to finish on the NE that you have    So for the whole street you need the Manchester NW as well.

On the top left rectangle of your NE map, find the words ST MICHAEL WARD in large print, go left and you see the famous St Michaels Flags (Angel Meadow). Just above there you've got the word 'Ashley' and the end of the lane which leads on to Portland St.

I have the street index booklets published by the M/cr and Lancs FHS, which really help with finding places   www.mlfhs.org.uk

Thanks allot I will just buy the NW one the NE one has loads of streets which I wanted to see so it s all good, while i am on here you know when I am searching the census to find someone example my nanas mum  Mary ann Ratican  who was born in 1886 address was Pump street ancoats/collyhurst  Manchester I cannot find her again until her marriage certificate which tells me she lived in Nicholas street Collyhurst, has anyone any idea why i can't find her? Her dad was called John Ratican and I can't find anything for him, do you know if they had to register?

Hello , My mother was born in Back Pump Street, I wonder if that was behind the Pump Street you mention?It was off Oldham Road , near Gunson Street. If it is nearby then there is a photo available from M/C City Local Image Collection . She was born in 1896 and her father worked for Harlands Undertakers.I`m sure there is more than one Pump St but I thought it worth a mention. Viktoria

Hi,I have just looked on the Manchester (NE) 1891 map and it shows that Pump street ran from Rochdale road all the way through to Oldham road, I must have the right Pump street because I have put 47 Pump street in the 1881 census and it said the district of St George. Thanks for your help Jo
