Tripe was eaten by most people in Lanacashire in and before the 30s, through WW2 and into the 50s certainly. UCP shops, which often included a restaurant, were owned by United Cattle Products Lt d. They had shops in many Lancs towns. Types of tripe included 'seam', 'honeycombe' and ''slut'. I seem to recall that slut was blackish. They also sold cowheel, trotters, pigsfeet, all very similar really and also 'elder'. That was cooked cows' udder. Delicious with vinegar, salt and pepper. All this offal was cheap and high in protein. It was a useful item in the diet in hard, low pay times. And I do love tripe and onions. Ie. Honeycombe or seam tripe cut into about 1" square pieces, stewed gently in milk, with chopped onions. Best wishes Bill

Dear list members, is there a kind soul who can look up a birth record for me............. please ? I paid for what I thought was John Atkin's birth certificate. The British office sent me the wrong document. Its the wrong parents and the wrong date. I have tried three times to correct them but they wont admit they have made a mistake. I wondered if by chance some kind soul might be able to locate the correct birth record/ birth certificate? I have John ATKIN as born in Salford in 1840. His parents should be John and Mary Atkin. His mothers maiden name might be Mary Ashton. All future census records say he was born in Salford. There was a John ATKIN age 7 months old during the 1841 Manchester census, with parents John and Mary ATKIN. I assume they are my relatives. My John died in Scotland in 1897 his death records gave his parents names as John ATKIN and Mary DANIEL. But both these people were dead at this time so I assume the DANIEL was hearsay. Its my brick wall, I do hope someone can locate a hammer :)) All my best Mike Morris Toronto Canada

UCP stood, I think, for 'United Cow Products' ! I seem to remember that they had a cafe in Stockport where we had lunch regularly in the 50s [in my case fish and chips!]. My parents loved tripe but I could never bring myself to eat it even before I knew what it was.

Hi Everyone, Tripe Dresser, ugh just the thought is enough to turn ones stomach! I don't know if this is going to be of help but as a child I lived in Ardwick, Chorlton on Medlock and Chorlton Cum Hardy and I remember that there were lots of shops selling amongst there wares tripe. I seem to remember these shops in the main were named UCP or similar. I can distinctly remember one shop on the Stockport Road where the Post Office now stands. My mother was very fond of tripe so we were regularly in the shop, these shops once inside, smelt scrumptious. I can remember they sold Savoury Ducks (a kind of faggot) Chicklets or Chicklins (I think those were some kind of animal intestine) They nicest things they sold were fresh pork pies with a clear savoury liquid pored in through the hole of the top. Of course they sold all kinds of tripe, I think some were almost a black in colour. The staff in the shop always dressed in white overcoats and white hats. The shops were extremely clean and had sawdust on the floor. Mum loved tripe and cooked it by steaming white tripe in milk and then adding a cheese sauce. Although tripe was very cheap, the other goods in the shop were expensive and the shops had very good trade. God, I'm reminiscing, I seem to have forgotten I'm that old.

Hi Ruth, Well it was a long shot, as you originally said. I can only "find" an Alice Hulme (not even an Alice and George Burgess) She's a 40 yr old cook born and living in Cheshire. Let me know if you want the image. There is an Alice Burgess living at Altcar Lancs with: Elizabeth Burgess 70 Henry Burgess 65 Mary Burgess 25 William Burgess 25 (Another long shot that she is living with in-laws and hubby missing.)

Have you tried ... http://www.workhouses.org.uk/ From the left hand menu select (in order!) ... "Workhouse Locations" "English Poor Law Unions" "Lancashire" "Manchester" It provides historical maps, descriptions based on comtemporary accounts, historical line drawings, black/white photographs, present day photographs and ... right at the end, links to finding info about staff, inmates, locations of remaining records and ideas for further reading. From my (limited) experience, very few records remain other than censuses. However, follow some of the links and see what *is* available and you might be lucky :-) Hope this helps Heather Roy and Betty Mullett wrote: > Hi Lee > If you are talking about the Crumpsall workhouse you use to be able to email > the Manchester County Council and they knew there. > http://www.manchester.gov.uk/libraries/arls/ Mind you it is a few years > since I inquired about my Grandfather but then they were most helpful.

Just a short note about asking for lookups (and, before anyone jumps on me, I am aware that this may not apply outside UK). I've just discovered that some of my family emigrated to the USA but unfortunately, I don't have an Ancestry worldwide sub. However, I spoke to my local library and they *do* have Ancestry worldwide sub. I cannot access it from home (which is a shame) but I can book one of their pcs, find what I want and, in theory, e-mail the images/data back to my home pc to work with at my leisure. Failing that, I can at least print the images. I know that it isn't ideal but for the few US records that I'm looking for, it's a lot cheaper than having to pay for the sub myself. I suggest that you ask at your local library. They may also have Ancestry access - and you might be lucky enough to access it from home using your library ticket (and if you can, I'll be jealous!)
