13, Stapleton Road, New Wortley, Leeds

Hi There.

I am rather clutching at straws here, but can anyone help me with the occupants  this house, in 1923.
Or tell me of it's proximity to Binks Street,or Bushire Street.

My grandfather gave this address when he emigrated to Australia,and I would like to know if it was his 
own home,or that of a family member.

My father was born at Bushire Street in  1920, but my grandfather deserted the family after this.

Failing this,it is a journey to the big city of Leeds,to look at Electoral Rolls. Living in a small village,I find this a daunting task.....

Many Thanks

JeannieR

Stapleton Road had a junction with Oak Road (which also still exists):

The 2 streets are very close to each other

This shows Stapleton Road, New Wortley and if you look across the railway lines you will see Binks Street.

Thank You both.....

I think I have almost solved a problem I have been researching for 16 years.

Stapleton Road,is so near to my family territory , that I feel grandma and grandad either moved here after dads birth,or it was a relatives home that he stayed at, after he deserted the family.

Many thanks for your input.

Kind Regards

In 1929, Herbert and Mary Cunningham are at 13 Stapleton Road
Marriage

The Leighton marriage could be

+ Mary Ann Emmans

There are no Cunningham, mmn Leighton births following the 1928 marriage, but there are Cunningham, mmn Emmens births in Bramley district from 1924!
