Can anyone with local knowledge, tell me where Brinksway is please?
Is it Cheadle or Cheadle Heath or Stockport? Or .....
I'm having difficulty finding my ggggrandfather's baptism. On the censuses he gave Cheadle as his place of birth but his baptism isn't recorded in Cheadle (well at least not in the parish church and the family were C of E).
However, there does seem to be a strong family link with Brinksway - it is mentioned as the abode on several baptisms and I was hoping that, if I can find out where it is, I might be able to find out which church people from Brinksway might go to to have their children baptised.
Any ideas please?
Ninian

Hi Ninian, Brinksway is in Stockport, postcode SK3.
You can google it and look on google maps - it'll give you exact location. I'm not familiar with the area so I can't give you anymore.
Hope that helps.
Cheers, Benn.

Thanks everyone. I'm better informed now ..... but still confused! Brinksway seems to be pretty much in Stockport. But the 'hamlet of Brinkway' (according to Genuki) is part in Stockport and part in Cheadle - which seems odd if it is near to the centre of Stockport!!
Do you think Brinksway was not so much a hamlet, but was just the area along the road from Stockport to Cheadle?
As my Elijah says on the census that he was born in Cheadle in 1813 (in Brinksway, I think), there only seem to be the parish churches of Stockport and Cheadle where he could have been baptised (all the other churches seem to be later than 1813) As he wasn't bapt in Cheadle parish church, it certainly sounds as if it'll be worth me trying to get hold of the Stockport Registers.
Regards Ninian

Hi Ninian,
Brinksway is in Stockport but that hasn’t always been the case. Before boundary changes in 1894 and 1901 it was in the parish of Cheadle. It was/is a small area sandwiched between Chestergate which is Stockport ,and Cheadle Heath.
St Mary’s Parish Church was and still is the main C of E church for Cheadle.
St Augustine’s Church was on Stockport Road, Brinksway but baptisms didn’t start there until 1887.
St Mary’s Church Stockport is nearer to Brinksway than St Mary’s Cheadle and was a popular choice for people living in the area.
Pat.

Hello Pat
You've really cleared it up for me. It makes perfect sense with what I have on Elijah. I'm now off to order the film of St Mary's Stockport ..... fingers crossed that he'll be there
Many thanks
Ninian

Ninian, if you didn't find your bap at Stockport, try Heaton Norris, St. Thomas. The baptism is too early for Heaton Norris, Christchurch and I think too early for Heaton Mersey, St. John, but you could certainly give St. Tom's a go.
Have you found other baptisms of the same family at Cheadle? Somewhere else quite popular with Cheadle folk in this era was St. James, Didsbury - just a step across the river

Hello 'Val's Granddaughter'
MANY THANKS. Iwas very pleased to get your post cos I haven't found my Elijah Turner - he wasn't baptised in Stockport. So now I have drawn a blank in Cheadle, Northenden and Stockport and I was quite stumped as to where to look next.
Elijah only appears on 2 censuses (he must, I think, be on the damaged Ashton under Lyne census of 1851 so I haven't got him for '51). On 1841 he was in Staffordshire and said 'No' to 'Were you born in this country'. In 1861 he have his place of birth as Cheadle (same as his wife, so perhaps it was an error??). He married in Northenden in 1832. I have no info on any siblings, so I haven't got a lot to go on. He and his sons were millwrights but that doesn't help much.
His wife Ann Ardaren was indeed from Cheadle - she was baptised in Cheadle in 1812, so I've managed to find he parents etc but no a sign of Elijah.
I was working on him being from Cheshire - but now I think about it, he could very easily have come from the Lancashire side of the border. I've just looked up Heaton Norris ... and it sounds a definate possibility. I shall try Didsbury too. Do you know which I should try first? I will try and order the films from the LDS - I s'pose this is the easiest way to find out? I am hoping to get up to Cheshire/Lancs this summer - I think the Cheshire parish info is in Chester but do you know where the Heaton Norris/Didsbury parish info is held?
Many thanks. Regards
Ninian

Hi Ninian,
Both Heaton Norris, St. Tom and Didsbury, St. Jim records are on microfilm at Manchester Central Library (First Floor). There are plenty of microfilm readers and you don't have to book a place. You may be better opting to visit the library in Manchester rather than the Cheshire Record Office in Chester (who also have the microfilmed registers of each parish), but they require a booking and you may only be allowed to book in for a limited time, whereas at Manchester Library you can stay all day if you wish until you find your folks!

Hello Vals GD
Many thanks - sounds like good advice. I shall check out M'cher Library for newspapers too, I have a list of dates I need to check out in the local papers. It'll save a lot of travelling time if I can get it all in M'cher.
A trip to Manchester is now a definate - though I might try a 'look-up request' as I doubt if I can wait til the summer to find out in Elijah is in St Tom's or Didsbury.
Many thanks again
Ninian .

Ninian,
MCL has a list of the newspapers and registers available of this page. Not all Stockport registers are held by MCL, but I assume Stockport would have have complete coverage.
I have usually been in the evening and it has been quiet, I did look in on a Saturday morning and it like all the film readers were in use.
Regards,
Deryck

Deryck is right - a Saturday morning wouldn't be the best time. A week day is best. The library has late closing Monday to Thursday (8pm) and closes at 5pm on Friday and Saturday.
