Pendlebury Railway Station? Also about the Acme Mill

[bab1127]

Thanks again.  My great grandfather, Robert McBride lived at  166 Bury Lane in 1871 and 79 Bury lane in 1881. It seemed the whole family worked at the Cotton Mill.  I have only found him in Hyde after my grandmother was born in 1888.  He had disappeared and I have no other information on him.  not even his death.  My grandmother remarried and came to the USA in 1904. I was curious about the McBride side of the family and where they came from.

Thank you again

Hello and Welcome Bab,


I've got lots of Manchester McBrides.... I'd be interested to hear about all yours... maybe I can help out somehow.

While we are on the subject of Pendlebury - is this where Pendlebury Hill would be?

My Grandfather was crushed by a runaway tram (top of hill) which crashed into his cart (at bottom of hill)  in about 1914-16 ish.   The driver was killed and my grandfather survived but his spine was damaged (he was only about 14).


Has anyone local ever heard of this?

Thanks

Hi again, Bab,
I've just come across a reference to the "Acme Spinning Co. Ltd" - not sure whether this refers to the Acme Mill, but is says that the Salford Archives Centre has a Minute Book 1904-1920 (U 280/AM 1).
No idea what it might contain, but there could be a mention of some of the people who worked there...
This is from a little book I bought recently, "Records of British Business and Industry 1760-1914: Textiles and Leather" produced by The Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts.
And, Milly, you need someone who has a bit of local knowledge about Pendlebury Hill to come on here and answer your question - they are certainly out there somewhere!  Good luck...

The McBrides in My family  Appear in the 1871, 1881 & 1891 census.

Robert McBride was the son of David McBride and Susan (Holiday) who were married at "The Catholic and Parish Church" on 10 Feb 1850. They had 13 children. They lived at 8 Anvill Street when they got married. The census has Robert as being born in 1864. He married Sarah Jane (Entwistle). My grandmother Ada McBride was born 17 Jul 1888, Christened at St georges, Hyde Cheshire 17 Oct 1888. That is all i know about Robert In the 1901 census I have Sarah Jane (Entwistle) married to George Black.  I do not know when.  She came to USA in 1904.

Reply to Milly about Pendlebury Hill??

I have never come accross anywhere called Pendlebury Hill? and couldn't find it on any of my old maps for you.

Do you know where abouts this Pendlebury Hill was? or any other landmarks or names of roads. I am very familiar with Swinton, Pendlebury and Clifton and the history of these places.

You could look in the newspapers at Salford Archives for a report in 1915/16 for the accident, it would give you more information, also there would probably have been an inquest.

good luck

Thanks Wallie,

I'm afraid I don't know any more than that.  I had supposed that it was somewhere in the Newton area.  He worked as a mechanic for a company called Suttons (possibly in Potts St, Ancoats) later and I had always thought he had been with them all his career but maybe not.

Will arrange a trip to Salford Archives at some point and see what I can dig up.

thanks

Thank you for your reply.  I'm sorry if I mislead you. I was looking for the Pendlebury Mill.  I now know it was the Acme Mill.  Thanks again
