I don't know if this helps but on the 1881 census there is a Whatmough Street, Ancoats, Manchester.

If you could just post a snippet of that word someone would most likely be able to tell you.

Hi Sue

Just another thought had your Gran moved by the 1891 census?

Hi Sue

If it is any help, it looks like by the 1891 census the houses in Whatmough Street were called Tricketts Buildings.

Hi,
There was a Whatmough Street on the borders of Ancoats and Miles Platting.  It was north of the junction with Oldham Road and Naylor St, which are still there today. 

If you go on google maps and search for Nuneaton Drive, Manchester M40, that's roughly where Whatmough St was.

Hope that helps
Smiley Barbara
