Thanks Pete With my ancestors marrying at Bolton Parish Church, I thought Smith Street must be nearby in the town centre of Bolton and Martin & Paul on the list have very kindly pointed me in the direction of Folds Road area which makes good sense. Thanks for your input all the same but I dont think it is the same street. On a second point, I have Hulme's in my family dating back to early 1800's living in Blackrod, Nr Bolton, whether there is a connection here to yours I need to do a bit more digging ??? Kind regards Andrea
