Could anyone tell me what part of Manchester this street is on I have a marriage for a william Woodhouse and Maria Kinley married from 34 & 38 Britton Street, I've been in touch with Manchester Archives to see if they could tell me who lived there in 1849 but it's proving difficult to find so they're asking what part of M/c it's in
It would be very helpful if someone could tell me I have old maps of M/c but I can't find it
Thank you

Manchester is a large place as I'm sure you'll know.....There are many districts....ie: Hulme, Ancoats, Salford and so on....
I can't seem to find it even on the old maps.....

Where were they married ....name of a church might help us with the area

ON THE MARRIAGE IT HAD BRITTON STREET, A WHILE AGO I WAS TOLD IT WAS BRITON STREET AND IT WAS ONLY A SMALL STREET,
I COPIED THE MARRIAGE FROM THE LIBRARY AT MANCHESTER BUT DIDN'T LOOK WHAT DISTRICT IT WAS IN

Thank you
Don't think it's Briddon Street

As I say I was told a while ago it was Briton Street so it has been found in the past think I'll have to try and get in touch with that person

Thanks Richard I've just sent a message to the lady that found it a while ago hopefully she can find it again I know she was looking in the 51/61 census she must have been able to do the look up by street address as she checked the whole street for my family

I have a friend in the USA who originates from the Manchester area and has a few maps.....he found one in the 1850's off London Road Manhester, although it was spelt Britain Street.....

Alan Report 26 Aug 2010 20:37

Yes I have seen that one myself ,Just wondering if the census that was found a while ago was spelt wrong!!
On marriage I have Britton Street I was told it was Briton Street and can only find Britain Street
very confusing
Thank you

Alan

Alan Report 26 Aug 2010 20:47

Sorry the census that Briton Street was found was 1841 if I could ask for this census again to see if it is actually there and if possible to find the name of the street next to it then we might stand a chance of finding it on the map to determine the actual name

Thank you

Just had a look at the maps for mnchester and it looks like Briton Street is in fact Britain Street, a spelling mistake on the marriage certificate and also on the 1841 census,? but to make sure could I ask for a 51 census street look up for Briton street also Britain street I supose their is a slight possibility the same family Elouise found in 41 are still there

I take it that their isn't a Briton Street then in the 51 census the distrct is the same as the 41 census so it is looking as though it should be Britain street funny to spell it wrong on a marriage certifcate and the census

Carol Ann Report 27 Aug 2010 19:41

I suppose the spellings only as good as the person writing it....
Or the people giving the info....

I will send on the copy of the map, although only a small piece does give a couple of nearby street names.....
A friend of mine just sent what he found...

Will do it now..
