Wallie,
I may seem to be coming back to this well once too many times, and I have actually sent a PM to Tallboy with the same question (though I'm not entirely sure if he's still active on this site).  I've really scoured the excellent map above, but can find no mention of GREEN STREET, which is where William Dyson died, at number 7, in 1869.  No sign of it today on the modern A-Z, but I feel it must be somewhere in the Pendlebury area off the Bolton Rd, as the Dyson family did not shift far - something I've been able to realise from all the local help and knowledge I've had on this thread...
Very best wishes,
Keith

Hi Keith,

I have some other maps of the area, so I will have a look for Green Street for you.

I am also going to the local history library next week, so if we haven't found it by then I will have a look there for you.

Tallboy was sending messages for a while, but I haven't heard from him lately, I wondered if he had gone on holdiay??

My Mum was good friends with a Joan Dyson from Swinton. There was a big family of Dyson's who lived over Clively (Clifton) when I was at school during the 60/70's

Anyway, I'll see what I can come up with on Green Street for you.
regards wallie

Hi, Wallie,
Thanks so much for taking my case on board.  At this rate this particular Lancashire thread could run and run.  By the way, I was MOST impressed by your Wallwork website, all sorts of good things on there from this area of N.W.England...

Hi Keith,

There dosen't seem to have ever been a Green Street in Pendlebury.

But there was one in Pendleton, which is very close to Pendlebury. Green Street Pendleton was behind Broad Street near to the junction with Brindle Heath Road not far from the Woolpack.

Have you checked the 1861 and 1871 census for this address?
This may help in you finding out who William Dyson was living with at the time...

credit goes to tallboy for this information.

I have attached a map of the area with Green Street highlighted for you to look at.

I think that it is more than likely that this is your Green Street.

Regards Wallie

Hi again, Wallie,
Thanks so much for this.  I have found William Dyson in the 1861 Census, and also his surviving widow, living with her family in the 1871 Census.  However, I have not looked up who was occupying Green Street, (Pendleton) during these Censuses to see whether there was any family connection there, or perhaps some kind of infirmary or hospital.
The death certificate does plainly state "Pendlebury", though the only Green Street in the area is obviously the one in Pendleton you have so kindly pinpointed with this map. 
And now an embarrassed admission - the "7" that I read, and thought went with "Green Street" is the schedule number or the number of the listing on the page of deaths.  But as you, or Tallboy, have pointed out (thank goodness!), there only appear to be about 7 houses in the street anyway.
It may be that William and Betty Dyson just occupied one of the house in Green Street for a short while up to his death in 1869...
Very best wishes, (and a visit possibly imminent next month to the Salford area),
Keith

Hi Keith,

Glad to be of help! and  hope you enjoy your visit to Salford!!

I'm not hundred percent sure of this, but I think the death certificate puts the place of where the death was registered ie Pendlebury, one of my great Uncles died in a football match disaster in Bolton his death certificate had Bolton on it, but we know for sure that he didn't live there.. but Bolton being the place where the death was registered.... perhaps some one else could confirm this ....

Hi again, Wallie,
I should have considered this, and thanks for your Bolton example, however tragic it must have been for your family at the time...

Wallie,
I've just had another thought, resulting in this question: on the excellent map you have displayed, are the lines shown in the middle of Broad Street tram lines, rather than railway lines?
Very best wishes,
Keith
