The Bolton branch of the Manchester & Lancashire Family History Society (MLFHS) will hold its next meeting on Wednesday October 2nd 2013: "We are lucky enough to have Mark Olly (of 'Lost Treasures fame', archaeologist, writer, and historian), coming to give us a talk, and his suitably seasonal subject, is on the 'history of Witches from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages, and the "coming out" in the 20th C, and how the North West has been involved in the current world wide revival'. "This should be a treat. "The venue as usual will be Bolton Cricket Club, Farnworth BL3 2JB, starting at 7.30pm, and all welcome. Enquiries as usual to Barbara Owen Secretary on 01204 309515 and a Help Desk will be available to assist private researchers afterwards."

Hi Mike, Thank you for your reply. That is the interpretation I put on it too. But it surprises me to find that in a probate record. Thanks again. Christine -----Original Message----- From: Mike Morris Sent: Monday, September 30, 2013 3:14 PM To: eng-manchester@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ENG-MAN] Death location for William Arthur THOMPSTONE Hi Christine, it says according to what you wrote 'In the canal' not by the canal. I take it he drowned. Regards Mike Morris Toronto Canada

Hi All, On the probate for William Arthur THOMPSTONE, 1924, it says "died 22 June 1924 in the Canal Openshaw ". Does it actually mean he died in the canal? I wouldn't expect it to put that in a probate. Or is there a region called that? I know the Ashton Canal runs to the north of Openshaw so does it mean he died somewhere along the canal (as opposed to in it)? Any help greatly appreciated Christine

Hi listers I am new to this list and am trying to find out more about the life of Joel TAYLOR and his ancestors/descendents from Cheetham area of Manchester. As my search is based within the past 100 years, I’m not sure where to find up to date information and would welcome any advice. The family are believed to be of Jewish descent who fled to England during the time of trouble in Russia. This is what I have so far: 1901 – 1911 Isaac TAYLOR came to England. He appears on 1911 census, listed as Resident of Russia, a tailor by trade but not on 1901 census. He may have taken the name Taylor on his arrival to mix in better with the English. Family address in 1911 is 36 Waterloo Road, Cheetham. 1909 Isaac marries Sarah (surname varies, listed as PASIMENSKI or PASIMINSKI on marriage, and PASHMINSKI on 2nd child’s birth). (There is a Simon POSIMENSKY at their home on 1911 census (Sarah’s Brother?) 1910 Daughter Edith born (also on 1911 census – 1st child) 1911 Son Abraham born – family living at 36 Waterloo Road 1913 Edith died 1914 Son Joel born at 2 Bury New Road, Cheetham (mother’s name listed as BOSEMINSKY this time but same family) 1916 Abraham started at Waterloo Road School, Cheetham. No further information on him. 1918 Joel started at Waterloo Road School, Cheetham. (Record shows family address as 36 Waterloo Rd again so did they own 2 houses? There were no TAYLORS at 2 Bury New Rd on 1911 census) 1941/42 Joel is either in army or territorials and stationed in Derbyshire. 2001 Joel died in The Heathlands Village, Prestwich. Any advice on how to find out more about Joel would be welcomed. I have no knowledge of Manchester, being in SW England myself. As Joel’s death occurred in a home, there is no indication as to whether he married or had a family and the informant is likely to be a member of staff at the home. I have come across 3 possible marriages but there appear to be no children from any of them. I would also be interested to know whether there are any records of immigrants entering the country between 1901-1911 showing where they came from, and how can I find out what happened to Joel during his lifetime? Are there electoral rolls that can be searched? Many thanks Jean

Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions over locating no. 23, also to Mike for the map. I agree that 23 was probably the one after the opening, which means that the original no. 23 has been replaced with a modern building. Shame, but now I know! Thanks again, Doug (in Southport).

Rectory Road is close to Crumpsall Station, off Crumpsall Lane, M8. Try Google maps and put in the street name and you will see exactly where it is. The road is still as it was and there should be no problem taking photos.

The 1894 map shows all the houses are on the east side of Rectory road. The road starts north from Seymour road. I am under the impression that house numbers in the city start from the south end of the street which is closest to the city centre.. As an example number one would be from that part of the street that's closest to Manchester city centre. By checking the map it appears number 23 could be a home with a large garden in the second row of homes. Its separated by a path that runs through a park type area to Crumpsall station. The map has been mailed to you.

Google street view show some mid 50's 60's house on one side and a couple of large old houses on the other though they don't look in good nick and are undergoing repairs These are fenced off with building site type fencing.

Dear List My thanks to Mike Morris and others who have replied to my initial post of approximately 3 weeks ago. I obtained the birth certificate from Blackley and unfortunately it was not the right one. I contacted Manchester City Library as I intended trying to visit when I am over in England in the Autumn, but unfortunately they closed in the middle of September until the Spring in order for the transfer back to Manchester Central Library. They did however, offer to undertake some research for me, for which I paid and they provided me with a lot information on the family, but still no baptism for George. They are now closed and not undertaking any research until the Spring 2014, so it looks as though George will have to wait a while longer until I can get over there. Kathleen Wilson Isle of Man
