Anne was kind enough to confirm the location but does anyone have any information on this place? Is it the name of the area, a farm or perhaps a village? I would be particularly interested if there was a Stonemason's yard or similar in the area since he was a Master Mason. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Ian Cameron

Any information would be appreciated. >Thanks, >Ian Cameron Hi Ian, To see the modern map showing Moss-side click on the following URL:-<http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?G2M?X=328065&Y=863320&A=Y&Z=3>http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?G2M?X=328065&Y=863320&A=Y&Z=3 You can inspect the same area as it appeared on an 1874 map by clicking on : http://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.htm then enter the following numbers into the search box : 328065, 863320 and click on the Co-ordinate box then Search. The map of the same area then will appear. You can get a better view if you click on Enlarged view - this gives a slightly wider view around the Moss-side farm. (No sign of a Stone Mason's yard, though) HTH _ _ Regards, Ed Barron <ejbarron@netspace.net.au>
