Hello List My ancestor George Shepherd was a shoemaker in Hulme around 1825. In lived in close proximity to Hulme Cavalry Barracks. I'm wondering if he may have been employed here. Can anyone tell me when the barracks opened? I have conflicting information as early as 1799 or as late as 1817. I'm also wondering if there are any records which indicate which units were stationed here or records of trades employed there? Would anyone be able to email me any maps of the barracks? Many thanks Rob

There was a William Shepherd a Joiner living at 72 Crown street in 1849. North east of the barracks.
