"Brinksey Banks, Near Stockport"

[RobinRedBreast]

Hello There,

I wander if anyone knows where exactly this place was/ is please.
I found it on a baptism on Find My Past, for a sibling of one of my 5x Great Grandad's Henry Warren (1778-1846):

"George, son of Peter and Anne Warren of Brinksey Banks, near Stockport. Baptised March 25th 1771". From: "England & Wales Non-Conformist Births And Baptisms Stockport, Cheshire, England: Find My Past":  https://search.findmypast.co.uk/results/united-kingdom-records-in-birth-marriage-death-and-parish-records?firstname=george&firstname_variants=true&keywordsplace=stockport&lastname=warren&yearofbirth=1771&yearofbirth_offset=0

It could even be "Brinksley Banks". The original image is not that clear.
George's Brother, Henry was born in Cheadle in 1778, and baptised in Stockport.

Any information would be gratefully accepted.
Thank you very much.

Wonder if it could be Brinksway. There is a topic on here somewhere debating just where Brinksway was Stockport or Cheadle.

There was also a Brinksway Bank Mill at one point

Could be a spelling error on behalf of the curate.

It does look like Brinksey in the image

Yes, definitely Brinksway although I've never heard specifically of Brinksway "Banks" before.

In case you don't know it, Brinksway runs high up along the top of the south bank of the rivr Mersey, west of Stockport town centre. Whether it is within Stockport or Cheadle depends on what date you're talking about as boundaries have changed several times in this part of the world ovr the last couple of hundred years.

Thank you for this. The baptism was in 1771.

At that time, I think Brinksway was partly in Cheadle and partly in Stockport and suspect that the people you're researching would have been in the Stockport part as they chose St Mary. (The Mersey forms the boundary between Lancashire and Cheshire and leads to all manner of confusion as Stockport extended to both banks)

The Warrens were a relatively well known family at that time and I'm sure there are other threads on them - viz; Warren Street & the now demolished Warren Bulkeley pub.

Yes, there does seem to have been quite a lot of people with the surname of Warren, at that time in this area.

Thanks for that link.   I have fond memories of my aunt and uncle who lived up Lark Hill off Brinksway. From memory I think the some scenes of the film  a Taste of Honey were filmed there
