Hi,

Husband Street ran parallel to Thornton Street.  If you go to google maps and type in Robert Malcolm Close Collyhurst you should see the area.  It was  between this and what is now Harrowby Drive. 

This should help you find it on whatever old map you are using.

Try the manchester 1930 map here:

Look for Miles Platting Station and go diagonally down and left from the P in Platting. It is marked Hus ban d

Hi Willow 154,

That is a link to a map of London not Manchester. 

Kind regards,

Hi Mo,
Sorry to trouble you, but I'm a bit confused about the link? 
This is the page it relates to:

I thought the map was of Colleyhurst, Manchester - with Husband Street in the top left hand corner Am I missing something?
Kind regards,

Hi Pauline,

The map link is definitley a London one.  Seeing Golden Square in the bottom left hand corner did it for me!  Click on the link below and then click on Great Portland Street on the second row.  Scroll down to just below Oxford Street and you should see Golden Square. Little Windmill Street, Broad Street etc. etc.

Hi Mo,
I can see now - took me a while to find Husband street on your map; but now comparing the two I can see they are COMPLETELY different! 
Sorry about that - I just took it for granted that they'd put the right one on the site. Not knowing the area personally, and taking the site information at face value I couldn't tell.
It's a good job someone does know!
And, it looked so promising!
Never mind - we know now. Thanks for putting me right, Mo - most appreciated.
Kind regards.

It's a wonderful map site; the one you sent.

I have them stored in "my favourites"  as lots of Rellies came from the  Manchester area and my GGG grandmother was from London.

Jo,

I am still looking for Lindley Street which was according to my 1922 index  is in the same square as Husband Street.  I have had a magnifying glass on the map but still can`t spot it.  Will have another look in the morning.

Mo
