Decipher Street Name - Manchester - completed
« on: Saturday 04 October 14 13:36 BST (UK) »
Hi guys

I was wondering whether any of you could help me decipher the attached street name.

It appears in a birth certificate registered in the sub district of Deansgate, Manchester. It appears twice on the certificate, so I have added both to the image. A few months later my ancestors lived on Water Street and there is a Gregson Street on a marriage certificate if that helps logistically.

Thank you

Strand Street? 
I don't know whether it still exists, but the 1861 census street index for Manchester shows a Strand Street near Deansgate.

I would post a link, but I can't make it work. If you google for 'Historical streets Project', you should be able to find it.

Hi, I agree it looks like Strand Street, there is a reference to Strand Street running parallel to Deansgate on this website.
