Hi Rob, Your William Ashelby is listed on the 1841 Pigot and Slaters Directory for Manchester and Salford,at 68 Bloom St, Aytoun st,G...now the directory usually lists the street lived in followed by the next main street to it.l followed up in the directory re Aytoun St and l think it is near Portland Street.It is hard to read but Aytoun may be Aytoan...someone on list will know this. It's also hard to read but l am sure it is a G after the streets and not C..maybe this means Gorton? l am sure there are lots of people on list that can help with this now,once we have an area established it will be much easier finding your family,Pauline who is going to look.

Aytoun street was close to Bloom street on the east side of Piccadilly. I have e-mailed this map to Rob.
