Alfred Phillips

[poppyann]

Is there any way that I could find out who was living at 91 Bond Street, Moss Side, Manchester in 1932. Alfred came from Canada and this was the address of his destination. Any help would be appreciated. Poppyann

If you can get to Manchester RO you could look in the electoral roll. This will give you everyone over 21. Liverpool RO will do 15 minutes research for free, maybe MRO does the same, or only charge a nominal amount.

You should also look in the Lookup Offers in case someone has the nearest Directory. The 1931 Census was destroyed during WW2, so you will never find a list of children.

Thanks Ken, I am trying to find out why Alfred Phillips came back from Canada to this address. Unfortunately I don't live near Liverpool. Poppyann

If you contact Manchester RO they may do a free search.

Alfred Phillips emigrated from Liverpool, UK to Montreal, Canada 1921
Surnames: Phillips / May
I am hoping someone can help provide info about my relative Alfred (Alfie) Phillips, (possibly also known as Alfred May) He was born in Liverpool in Dec 1908 and emigrated in 1921, aged 12 as part of the Barnardo's (Nugent Care as it was then known) Home Children Farming Program. We know he was placed on a farm in the Montreal area and stayed there until 1927 when he moved on. After that we don't know where he went. Would love to hear from anyone who might be related to him or can provide any info whatsoever.

Was just wondering if this is the same person? We have been looking for a while - Alfred was my grand-fathers Brother

My grand-father was Daniel . His father Alexander had died, and their mother re-married and died in1919. My grand-father and Alfred went into an industrial school and were both to be sent out to Canada, but my grand-father went to live with his brother Albert. I have looked at the records at the industrial school and Alfred went to Canada on the Minnedosa to Toronto in 1923. We have been in touch with Albert's grand-daughter and her grand-dad had thought that Alfred would try to get back to England and we do know that he did try to get in touch with his brothers via a newspaper article in later years. We had a feeling he may have reverted back to the name Phillips, but are not sure.
