Welcome to Rootschat, Tallboy.
This is the absolutely definitive explanation that I have been waiting patiently to hear! There is no doubt in my mind at all now about the answers to the questions I posed. And, yes, if I may, I'll come back to you if other queries arise in my mind about this area of Salford.
Thank you so much...(This is a brilliant website, by the way; I hope you find it as compelling as I have done over the last year)
Very best wishes,
Keith

Thanks for sorting us out, tallboy,
I knew someone would come up with the goods eventually!
Incidentally, my grandparents lived in Moorside Rd, in the little block of 3 houses at the East Lancs end. My grandfather worked across the road at Horsfall & Bickham (as the Gate keeper I think)

So glad to hear that I have done my good deed for the day.
The Acme was of course on Swinton Hall Road. This road is, like Station Road, partly in Swinton and partly in Pendlebury. In the 19th century the Swinton section was called JANE LANE whilst the Pendlebury section (where the Acme was) was known as BURY LANE. This is not to be confused with BURYING LANE which was the original name of Station Road before the railway was built.
Dyson. There used to be a large family called Dyson not far from where I grew up in the Rake Lane district of Clifton. Many families from this particular estate came from Pendlebury when the houses were built in the 1930s. Pendlebury Station. Trains leaving the station and heading towards Wigan went through the tunnel which starts on Bolton Road and comes out on Swinton Hall Road.
As you can see, I am very eager to put my local knowledge at your disposal.
Tallboy (real name Keith too)

Hi again, Keith,
More wonderful local knowledge for me, and I might come back to you about that DYSON family that lived close by to you. That's what is so amazing about this site. Either someone comes up with the answers straight away, or you wait a while and THEN somebody has something pertinent to say. My knowledge of this area is much enlarged...
Very best wishes,
another Keith (I think we're quite rare amongst the 18,000- plus members)

Have been following this topic with interest as some of my Williamsons lived in Pendlebury circa 1880's.
However, I'm absolutely bowled over by the photo of Andrew's Grandad in the cute hat - what a cheeky little face, I bet he was a bundle of mischief.

and that picture of yours of Leah Williamson is just as captivating, if I may be so bold. Was she a direct ancestor of yours, Mobo, or just a member of that Williamson branch you are so interested in...?

Leah William was my grandfather's sister, and a very dear aunt of my late Mum..
As for the Pendlebury Williamson, this was
EMMA WILLIAMSON, born December 8, 1833 in Chapel St. Salford, Lancs, who died November 12, 1879 in 31 River St. Pendlebury, Lancs. She married GEORGE ECKERSLEY February 14, 1858 in Manchester Cathedral, Lancs. Wit. Mary A Williamson, Robert Greenhalgh. Son of GEORGE ECKERSLEY and SARAH. He was born 1837 in Lowton, Lancs. Occupation.Post Office Supervisor. Emma's death registered by son John H. Eckersley of 32 River St. Pendlebury.
The Williamson were in fact an old Eccles/Pendleton family which you can see on my website (see my profile below)

What an amazing website, Mobo!
Rather puts my amateurish efforts to shame. Made me wonder, though, whether your John Whittaker Williamson, b. 1805, might have known my William Dyson b. 1795 - same location, and same sort of occupation, variously "grocer", and "master carter". Mention of all those places of baptisms, marriages, burials. etc. brings it all into sharp relief for me; have only been to the Manchester area once in my life, to watch a Man Utd. v. Spurs game about 13 years ago with my brother, when we stayed in the Trafford Hotel, which I think used to be Trafford Town Hall.
But Salford is an area I shall visit soon to make sense of all this geography...

Glad you liked the site Keith - however if you're visiting Salford, you'll be hard pressed to find any of the 'old' streets and roads. Chapel Street is still standing though, as it's the main road into Manchester, and Sacred Trinity Church still stands on it.
You can see more on old Salford on the Genuki site

Happy hunting

Hi Wallie,
My initial request has borne fruit in so many ways over the last few weeks, after a rather uncertain beginning. Your comments, and the map and suggestions you have produced are really the icing on the cake. All it needs here, obviously, is a little patience, then someone else comes on to this incredible Rootschat website (often a newcomer swelling the membership) and more details are magically revealed.
Thank you so much for your help in all this...
Very best wishes,
Keith

Wallie,
I may seem to be coming back to this well once too many times, and I have actually sent a PM to Tallboy with the same question (though I'm not entirely sure if he's still active on this site). I've really scoured the excellent map above, but can find no mention of GREEN STREET, which is where William Dyson died, at number 7, in 1869. No sign of it today on the modern A-Z, but I feel it must be somewhere in the Pendlebury area off the Bolton Rd, as the Dyson family did not shift far - something I've been able to realise from all the local help and knowledge I've had on this thread...
Very best wishes,
Keith
