CZECH Migrant workers, post WW2, SALFORD, Lancs.
« on: Thursday 23 February 06 18:26 GMT (UK) »

Hi ,
Does anyone know if a source exists that would have a list of CZECH migrant workers who came to work in Salford, Lancs just after WW2?
Two lovely young Czech ladies lodged with my Grandmother for a while and I think they worked in a local Mill or Factory. I was 7 years old and only know their first names but if a register was created then  possibly a lodging address would be recorded and allow me to trace their names.  I don't know whether they stayed in England or returned to Czech Republic.

Regards to all,
Ian Headford,
Cumbria,
England.

Hi Annie,
I have contacted Salford as you suggested and they passed my enquiry on to the local history society. They tell me that the Greater Manchester Police at Newton Street, Manchester hold a register of ALIENS 1914 - 1960, and my 2 girls should be on that.  Will have to wait till I visit Manchester to follow up, but many thanks for the tip.
Kind regards,
Ian Headford,
Cumbria.

Hi Ian!

Glad that helped a bit! - but do you have to be there in person to get the register?
could you not send an email ? oh wait !
probably do ..... because of the dates ....... ! wonder how many years those records are closed ? you might try asking the Police Museum
