Hi, I have been trying to relate the various house moves of my grgrandmother Harriet Thickett/Haigh around the area Hulme and Gorton area but am handicapped by not yet having been able to get to the area. I know that I may have asked for some info before, but am trying finally to get it straight in my poor old Brain so please forgive me: have been peering at on-line maps all day...anyone got an aspirin? First address: 7Hardy Street Hulme, I have located this previously with help form Mike Morris as having been off the Hyde Road: the nearest street still extant on current maps is Clowes Street. Still I ask myself is this not in Gorton rather than Hulme . Or is Gorton a part of Hulme? Might there be another Hardy Street somewhere in the area? 2nd address: 13 Beswick Street Gorton. The Beswick Street I have found on the 1935 A-Z map adjoins Ashton New Road and crosses the Manchester Ashton etc. Canal and ends at a junction with Mill Street and Bradford Street . Is this Gorton? Does anyone know whether this address was more than a dwelling house? 3rd address: 26 Buxton Street. I have a death Certificate with this address on Registration District : Manchester; Sub District : Manchester. Unfortunately the registrar did not indicate a place for this street and I have been unable to find it. Thanks Dick ----- No virus found in this message.

Hi. Gorton is a separate district from Hulme and Clowes Street is in Gorton. Mill Street is in Ancoats. Buston Street runs off Baring Street, off Travis Street off London Road. Near the City Centre.

Buxton street was just a short distance south east of London road station and ran south into London road. I have sent you this section of the map. To pin point some of the street locations, look for your relatives in the census records and make a note of some of the surrounding street names.
