Manchester Road Address decipher needed
« on: Friday 11 May 12 18:06 BST (UK) »
Hi.  Can anyone help me figure out this address please?  Not sure if it is in Scotland... or in Manchester.  Maybe someone close to the area might recognise it?
Thanks, Clarissabell

I think it reads "cemetery road" "Manchester Road" "Droylsden"
All census look up transcriptions are Crown Copyright http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/

If you put the address into Google maps you can view the house. It doesn't look very old.

I wonder if the other pencilled entry of 63 Cornwall St, Higher Openshaw, Manchester, might be the address to where his medals had to be sent (about 1922).

Thanks a million Colin for that insight.  How interesting!  Something else to think about.
