Dog Yard, Bury - 1881

[Rowan Tree]

Hi,

Has anybody heard of the address "Dog Yard" in Bury, Lancs?

I've come across the address on the 1881 South Bury census.

The streets/residences immediately before "Dog Yard" are Union Street, Fleet Street and the White Horse Hotel.

The streets immediately after "Dog Yard" are Gutter Ends and Back Fleet Street.

I'm looking at Thomas LANE, age 21 (c. 1860), born in Manchester. Thomas was a servant in the household of David & Martha CRAWFORD. David Crawford's occupation is publican. Was "Dog Yard" the name of a pub?

If you have access to Ancestry, then look for the name and location = image 28 of 39.  You can then "take out" image 28 and insert "1" which will give you the Enumerator's Walk, and consequently the location of Dog Yard - probably Dog Tavern Yard.

I'm sorry. I don't understand. Could you clarify, please?

If you slide the slider you'll see that Gutter End is still there.

If you search on Ancestry for Thomas Lane in 1881 census you will find him on image number 28 of 39.  You can then click on "28" and change that to "1" which will take you to page 1 of 39.  Page 1 is the image of the Enumerator's walk - i.e. the area covered by the 39 pages.

I'm half chuckling here.

This is an ace find. David Crawford is Thomas' boss in 1881.

Many thanks
