Advice on how to search - cinema ownership..?
« on: Thursday 08 June 17 10:03 BST (UK) »
Not sure how to begin a search so anyone's input would be appreciated!

I have been told that my great grandfather owned/co owned a cinema in Manchester. His name was John Ashworth Tyler (b. 1898 d. 1983). I'm not sure on a date range but it would have been between 1930 - 1950 at least. Potentially slightly later. It's a wide range i appreciate but how would i start to look into this?

Hi tyler11

Starting the same topic in numerous places is not the way to go on Rootschat.

Potentially you get people in 3 places doing the look-ups and duplicating efforts. It wastes their time.

Other topics are here

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=772948.0 now has a reply

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=772947.0

If you find after a while you don't get any replies to a topic you can ask for it to be moved to another location to see if people elsewhere can help.

Hi Dawn,

Apologies to all if my post has appeared in multiple places, i was unaware this happened. Having internet issues and i believed the latest post was the only one. Thank you though for letting me know and being new to this site, i will ensure it doesnt happen again.
