Ainsworth Street, Manchester
« on: Friday 27 July 07 20:01 BST (UK) »
In the 1901 Census, my grandparents are shown as living in Ainsworth Street, Manchester. However, the district is unclear, either Ardwick or Gorton.  Anybody any ideas, please?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Orinoco,

The district is Gorton

Ainsworth St ran parallel to Belle Vue St and in between Clowes St and Hyde Rd

Hope this helps
Regards, Dave

Gorton - it will have come down to make way for Pottery Lane.

This from the same wonderful map we were looking at on the Earl St posting! About 1960

Thanks, folks. Yes, that is more than likely the place. Grandfather's occupation is given as 'iron dresser' and I see an iron works in the vicinity.
Grateful for your efforts.

I have a copy of a 1901 census document showing my great-great grandfather living at 44 Ainsworth St. in Ardwick, Manchester...
