Manchester Map
« on: Thursday 19 November 09 18:34 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to find out where Meadowbank Place, Manchester was (or is)

My ancestors were living there in 1861.

I've searched all over without success

Hello Phil, Have you any idea which area of Manchester? I have some old maps but would need to know  roughly where . I could be looking for ages  as there is no index. Viktoria.

Hi Victoria

The census seems to record the district as St Simon (I think) and St Jude. This is on Granby street I believe

Hi,

Census shows it near London Rd and Granby st, Manchester.

www.artus-familyhistory.com/source/Early%20Maps.html/Manchester%201857/Manchester%201857.html

Click SE it's easy to spot London and Granby on the 1857 map
