Is there aome kind soul who would be able to look at the Rate books at Manchester Record Office Please, I am looking for any information on Property in Stott St Hulme, particularly 3 Messuages, dwelling houses & Heriditaments, either in the names of William WOOD James WOOD & then transferred to William PRINCE I suspect in the 1850 - late 1860' s sorry I can't be a bit more specific but the following film numbers may help. Sandra Aus Hulme a.. RATE BOOK MICROFILM ROLLS 381-385 b.. RATE BOOK MICROFILM ROLLS 13-37 See South Manchester Rate Books for post 1895 rate books. Please note that from 1854 Hulme was divided into two wards - St. George's Ward and Medlock Ward. St. George's Ward always appears first on the microfilm. For 1854-1895 use the 1886 electoral register street index to discover which ward the address is in. For streets which no longer exist by then consult the Hulme 1854 rate book index in the Microfilm Unit.
