Greetings, I have been looking through the 1841 Blackley Enumeration Distrtict as described by Lorita, and I am unable to find any listing of Sheet, and, looking at the Enumeration Description, I would think it is, in fact Street, and the first "T" is simply not crossed. If her ancestor listing is Jno Hall, 67, weaver, with a son Phillip, 32 and a grandson Jno, 5, they live on Crab Lane. I didn't notice any other Hall listings, but let me know where they are, and I'll look at the census and give you my opinion as to where they live... hth David Wightmore

Hi All Is there SKS who can tell me if Stockport was part of Manchester in 1800 or would it have been considered in Cheshire? I am looking for a marriage between James Newton and Lucy Broadhurst probably between 1810-1820. They had a son John born 1820/21 but he may not have been the eldest. Lucy was baptised in St Mary's Church, Stockport. Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Hi folks, Earlier today I said I would ask at my local library (which has a local/family history section) about the Times Archive free trial, the question being will they subscribe to it when the free trial has ended. I am speaking about this one: http://archive.timesonline.co.uk described here: http://irishfamilyhistory.ie/blog/?p=153 I went and asked. Here's what I was told - it depends whether the local authority decides to pay for it when the time comes. Therefore it seems it will be down to your own local authority whether you will be able to access it for free once the public free trial is over. The assistant added that the more people ask about it, the more likely the local authority is to pay up - so go and ask! So that's all I know. Here's a tip - if you are registered with a higher education institution and you have an Athens password, you will be able to access many such resources from home from your own computer, which is a great help. Sally in Yorkshire

Hello Julie, > You can get free access to the Times Archive if you have a Library > card. Just go to your local Library on-line look for the virtual > reference Library and sign in with your Library card number. Yes this is true. However I understand this new temporarily free trial is a quite a different animal to the one which was widely available before and available at home. It has helpful tools and it is fully searchable. http://archive.timesonline.co.uk Still, it may be that libraries are logged in to that one right now and when the free trial finishes they might revert to its poorer cousin. One hopes not of course. I am going to my library this morning - I will ask and then let you know. Meanwhile, here is a link which describes it in detail. http://irishfamilyhistory.ie/blog/?p=153 Sally in Yorkshire

You can get free access to the Times Archive if you have a Library card. Just go to your local Library on-line look for the virtual reference Library and sign in with your Library card number.

Hello Barbara, Diamond street was at the top of the hair pin bend on the river Irwell. It was on the east side of the bend. I find that if I cannot locate a street name in an A to Z map book, then I do a 'Neighbours Search' in the 1881 census. I type in Diamond street, Salford with no success, then tried Pendleton, until it crops up. Then I search the surrounding street names till I recognise a street name. Search for that name in my maps, then looked for Diamond,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, simple hey ? :)) I have sent you the map showing Diamond street in 1894.

Hi I am helping my cousin in Canada with his family history. On the 1841 Census he found his ancestor John HALL living at Sheet in Blackley. It reads as follows: "All that part of The Township of Blackley which lies on the west side of Sheet and leads on the Highway direct through Crab Lane". Has anyone ever heard of Sheet? If so I would be pleased to hear from them. We were unable to find anything on the Internet and he has checked it is not STREET. TIA Lorita Paisley

I located Crab lane in 1840, its in Higher Blackley. But searching either side as far as Heaton Park area I could not locate Sheet . I wonder if it meant the name of a street that was in the vicinity of Crab lane ? A lot of the side streets did not show a name. Crab lane runs south on the east side of Blackley crematorium. I have sent you a few of the map sections you can send to your friend. Perhaps they could search the surrounding area in this census and see if it gives any other lane or street names.

Hi Jane, My Duffy's also came from Ireland. Bridget Duffy born 1829 married Denis Clancy born 1827. I cannot find a marriage and have assumed they married in Ireland. He was in the 97th Regiment of Foot. In the 1851 Census he is recorded at Hythe Barracks Kent. He then died in The Pireaus Greece after 1 day in hospital probably from cholera in 1854. My GGGrandmother then moved to Manchester with her daughter, my GGrandmother Sarah Anne Clancy. They may have moved there because they already had family there or maybe because of work. I would love to find out more about the Duffy's but cannot trace them back in Ireland and cannot find a marriage in England. Also can only find Bridget before the 1871 Census.

Hi Mike! You recently took the listers on a walk through Manchester, describing vividly the streets and buildings of note. You mentioned the Gaythorn gasworks and I wondered if this was situated on Gaythorn street as members of my family lived there during the 1900's. If the answer is 'yes' would you please describe the street to me, I would much appreciate a mental image of it. Regards Ann in Aus.
