Thanks again. My great grandfather, Robert McBride lived at 166 Bury Lane in 1871 and 79 Bury lane in 1881. It seemed the whole family worked at the Cotton Mill. I have only found him in Hyde after my grandmother was born in 1888. He had disappeared and I have no other information on him. not even his death. My grandmother remarried and came to the USA in 1904. I was curious about the McBride side of the family and where they came from.
Thank you again

Hello and Welcome Bab,
I've got lots of Manchester McBrides.... I'd be interested to hear about all yours... maybe I can help out somehow.

While we are on the subject of Pendlebury - is this where Pendlebury Hill would be?
My Grandfather was crushed by a runaway tram (top of hill) which crashed into his cart (at bottom of hill) in about 1914-16 ish. The driver was killed and my grandfather survived but his spine was damaged (he was only about 14).
Has anyone local ever heard of this?
Thanks

Hi again, Bab,
I've just come across a reference to the "Acme Spinning Co. Ltd" - not sure whether this refers to the Acme Mill, but is says that the Salford Archives Centre has a Minute Book 1904-1920 (U 280/AM 1).
No idea what it might contain, but there could be a mention of some of the people who worked there...
This is from a little book I bought recently, "Records of British Business and Industry 1760-1914: Textiles and Leather" produced by The Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts.
And, Milly, you need someone who has a bit of local knowledge about Pendlebury Hill to come on here and answer your question - they are certainly out there somewhere! Good luck...

The McBrides in My family Appear in the 1871, 1881 & 1891 census.
Robert McBride was the son of David McBride and Susan (Holiday) who were married at "The Catholic and Parish Church" on 10 Feb 1850. They had 13 children. They lived at 8 Anvill Street when they got married. The census has Robert as being born in 1864. He married Sarah Jane (Entwistle). My grandmother Ada McBride was born 17 Jul 1888, Christened at St georges, Hyde Cheshire 17 Oct 1888. That is all i know about Robert In the 1901 census I have Sarah Jane (Entwistle) married to George Black. I do not know when. She came to USA in 1904.

Thanks Wallie,
I'm afraid I don't know any more than that. I had supposed that it was somewhere in the Newton area. He worked as a mechanic for a company called Suttons (possibly in Potts St, Ancoats) later and I had always thought he had been with them all his career but maybe not.
Will arrange a trip to Salford Archives at some point and see what I can dig up.
thanks

Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry if I mislead you. I was looking for the Pendlebury Mill. I now know it was the Acme Mill. Thanks again

Just found this web site looking for an old map of Clifton - my mother came over from Ireland in the war to work at the local Chloride battery factory (making submarine batteries) in Clifton. She lodged with the Dyson family on Clively Avenue - from memory it was Annie she lived with but I can remember a Fred also. If you think this is the same Dyson family I will ask my mum (86) if she can remember anything more. I am sure Annie is still alive also.

Hi, Julia and Hilto77, welcome to Rootschat!
For whatever reason, Julia, your post in July this year was not flagged up on my e-mails, so that is why I have not acknowledged your query and why the welcome is so belated; before that I hadn't been active on here since April 2007, and had thought the trail had gone completely cold - have had a great deal of helpful info on the railways and the station on here up to then.
I must have a rummage through my (hopelessly disorganised) records to see whether we have a DYSON connection or not.
Thanks so much for reviving things on here, by the way; will be back in touch soon!
Very best wishes,
keith

The map of Clifton I am trying to find is to locate a row of cottages on Clifton Moss in about 1905-1910. This is where my father John Hilton was born. I wonder if your father would have worked with my mother (Aldine nee White) at Chloride just after the war.
