Living in Salford but Baptised at St Matthews, Manchester with Manchester addres

[heywood]

Hi Geoff,

Yes I saw Cornelius' history re Bolton, Mansfield etc.
I think it might be just a simple explanation like Lizzie says. Had he been transferred to Manchester, I can't see that he would have to move house.
You say "ALL his children were born there". Do you mean Salford or Musgrave Street? Rose was in Nora Street in 1901 - was that her mother's address?

In 1901, the family at 6 Eltoft Street are William and Emily Tobin

It doesn't answer your question but there is a marriage for
 Norah TOBIN and Timothy S DEVINE  in 1899 at Salford Register Office or Registrar Attended
A distant relation?

Eltoft St , which was almost at the back of St Matthews, is only a short walk from the start of Regent Rd.

I'm not sure if The parish of St Matthew stretched over the border into Salford, but I have come across quite a number of Christenings there for people living in Salford.

Similarly at St George in Hulme. There were a lot of Salford addresses in the registers. I think that Parish did cover part of Salford.

Hi, heatherjulie
Thanks for the rapid response, Yes thats my family, my problem is why they are in manchester in 1911 when their home is in Salford, I can only think its linked to Cornelius's work as a Salford Constable but can find no event or  emergency at that time which would involve movement of Police.
Thanks for your heip.

Between 1910 and 1914 ( a time of rocketing Trade Union membership)  there was a wave of industrial action and strikes across the country , it is known as "The Great Unrest".  I believe Manchester, and probably Salford, was affected too.
Whether this is why Cornelius moved to a particular area is hard to say, but possibly

Go to http://maps.familysearch.org/ and put Hulme in the search box, and select Hulme [St George], Lancashire, the map shows the parish boundaries, and the surrounding parishes. Click on Map to show the present Google map.

Hi, Your suggestion that it may be their prefered Church makes sense now I Know where Eltoft St is as its just outside Salford near Deangate and Regent Rd, and just a "cockstride" away from their home,
Thank You

Sorry! I meant Broughton Salford for their births not Mulgrave st, Nora St was Cornelius and Roses home and Cornelius was in South Africa at this time
Thank You

Hi, these 2 Baptisms of John and Olive (my Grandmother) are the oniy connection my family have with St Matthews, is this a Catholic Church?. Cornelius Langshaws Family were from Bolton and most BMDs took place at St Georges or St Peters, Bolton, Rose Anns Father Thomas Devine may have been a Catholic but not a lot of info or BMDs for the Family
Thank You

Hi, My original thoughts about why Cornelius used St Matthews are now fading given the short distance from the Church in Deansgate and his home in Lower Brougton Salford
Thank You
