Hi Kath: I was interested in your reference to the 1929 Manchester Directory. Can you tell me if it is available on-line? I have been trying everywhere to find information on my grandparents to no avail.

Thanks to everyone that helped me with this quest. I got a little mixed up with nDucie Ave School but that was where my mother in law went I finally remembered it was St. Thomas School. Has anyone any idea where Kirkstall street, was? I have tried Google with no luck. Jean
