As an aside from the discussion could you explain where Moss Side is for me please. I first thought it was an area in Ulverston. One of my relatives has Mosside as a second name. I always thought or was a translation area but perhaps there is more to it. Seems like an unusual monicker. Many thanks.

Moss Side is in Manchester. I don't know how it was when your ancestor lived there but if you want to know what it's like now, read this: http://tinyurl.com/q822q33 -- John Lynch >-----Original Message----- >From: [email protected] [mailto:lancsgen- >[email protected]] On Behalf Of N NASH via >Sent: 09 February 2016 16:05 >To: Mike Morris; [email protected] >Subject: Re: [LAN] quiet mailling list > >As an aside from the discussion could you explain where Moss Side is for me >please.

Thanks for the info. Rather strange that they would call a child James Mosside Pernie. Perhaps it opens another avenue to explore.

Hi, Noreen, Further to your query about Moss Side (or Mosside) and the responses you have had, there is a fantastic site - Genuki Lancashire which has a gazetteer at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/Gazetteer. Put Moss Side in the search box and you will get about 9 hits. and a map showing where these are. The site represents an immense amount of work by one Phil Stringer - THANK YOU VERY MUCH Jim Lancaster (Bury, Lancs.) -----Original Message----- From: N NASH via Sent: Tuesday, February 09, 2016 4:05 PM To: Mike Morris ; [email protected] Subject: Re: [LAN] quiet mailling list
