I am still trying to find a birth record or baptism for George Wilson b 1891. According to the 1891 census the family were as follows: Reference RG12/3232 Page No. 34 Address: 41 Lime Street, Ancoats, Manchester, Ecclesiastical Parish St Johns Ancoats Robert Wilson, Head, 55, General Labourer, Scotland (in fact he was born in Ruabaon) Elizabeth Wilson, 45, Wife, -, Montgomery, Wales Ada Wilson, Daughter, 22, Cotton ... Tenter, Manchester Mabel Alice Wilson, Daughter, 18, Wash Laundress, Shropshire William W Wilson, Son, 19, Groom Ostler, Shropshire Charles B Wilson, Son, 17, Coiling Wire Works, Shropshire Maud S H Wilson, Daughter, 13, Feeder Printing Press, Shropshire Mahala B Wilson Daughter, 9, Scholar, Manchester George Wilson, Son, 1 mos,-, Manchester I have been trying to find any information on the Church of St John, Ancoats, but have only found St John's Church off Deansgate. I have not found a birth certificate for a George Wilson with father Robert and mother Elizabeth. In the 1901 census George's place of birth is given as Crumpsall, Manchester. Was there a workhouse there in 1891 where he could have been born if by chance he was illegitimate? If anyone can help with locating the church of St John, Ancoats or where in Ancoats Lime Street was, I would be grateful. Kathleen Wilson.

Lime Street was shown as in the area of New Mills in the census, I located it on the border of Miles Platting.  The church is as follows St John the Evangelist, Oldham Road, Miles Platting, M40 7AQ St John the Evangelist is located at OS Grid Reference - SJ 856995 Founded: 1854 Closed: 1972 Registers for this church are held at Manchester Central Library. See the MCL catalogue I have sent you a map section showing Lime Street.
