« on: Tuesday 30 June 09 09:20 UTC (UK) »
Would anybody visiting Manchester Local Studies Library be willing to do a look up for me on the Electoral Roll 1916 for a specific address?

Hi you do know that you will only get the male names of eligible voters as women didn't get to vote till after 1920 and then i think only if they were over 30?
I could try and find who is living at that address around the time if i had an address or name to work with? Well i can only try that is.

Yes I did realise it was only the male of the species who were eligible to vote. Typical!!! LOL

The address is 12 Carter Street, Cheetham, Manchester. I don't have a name sorry.

Thank you I really appreciate your offer of help.

Hi are you sure it is Cheetham and not Salford?  I can only find on my map on in Higher Broughton Salford.

Anyway 1913 living at 12 Carter street north side: William Lang Householder.

At 12 Carter street South east side : Henry Wright  Printer

Will keep looking for anything i can find for you.

I've got the address from the birth certificate of an uncle and it definitely says. 12 Carter Street, in the sub district of Cheetham in the county of Manchester C.B.

Wonder if the informant (his Mother) just didn't both with whether it was North or South.

I also have the birth certificate for his brother in 1913 but that's in Salford and an entirely different address. I am trying to find out if they had the same father.

Manchester and Salford are two totally separate cities. Many people think Salford is part of Manchester but it is a city in it's own right. There may well be a Carter street Cheetham but i can't see it on my map but will look at other i have for you to make sure. Do you have the other address in Salford? I could try and look who is living there ?

This is where the problems start. There are two addresses. It's in the sub-district of Regent Road in the County of Salford C.B.

In the section for Name, Surname and Maiden name of mother it says Jane Chapman and gives the address as 72 Dickinson Street but in the section for Residence of informant the informant was Jane Chapman (possibly her mother) and the address is 90 Eccles New Road. But I am not sure if it was Jane or her mother.

Sorry if I am confusing youwith all this.

90 to 94  Eccles new road was at one point the workhouse?

CLICK 4 ECCLES NEW ROAD

On the 1913 directory it has 90 Eccles new road as:BMD registry office
92 was the workhouse & 94 was the children's receiving home.

Well, well,well the workhouse. Now I am confused. (Doesn't take much LOL) The cert actually says the birth was at 90 Eccles New Road but the mother lived at 72 Dickinson Street and the informant Jane lived 90 Eccles New Road. So it looks like Jane the mother and Jane the Informant could be the same person and was sent to the workhouse to give birth but why not give the address as 92 and why not have the baby at her parents house if that's where she lived. Really odd.

Thanks for all the info it's really interesting and very much appreciated. I will follow it up now

Sorry to be such a pest but is there any other way to find out who lived at 72 Dickinson Street? I've just noticed that Jane says she is a Domestic Servant. Wonder if it's the proverbial Master takes advantage of Maid syndrome?

Will do they can only say no can't they?

Why try Manchester when Dickinson Street was and still is (I googled it) in Salford? Is it on the border (sorry don't know the area)

Cos Manchester hold most of the records but if you do want to try and better by phone, you could try Salford local history. They are allways really helpfull.
