The Common Room / Where is my Grandmother? Withington workhouse questions
« on: Saturday 29 April 17 13:32 BST (UK)  »
My Great Grandmother Lilian WOOD ( was morrison) was born 1905
She died in 1931 in Withington workhouse, Manchester, England.
I have her death certificate which says she died 19th Jan 1931 of Pulmonary TB, in the occupation section on the Death cert it has an address of 84 Burlington Street, Chorlton on medlock and underneath that it says Wife of Robert Wood a Rubber worker. Also on the informant section it says Robert Wood widower of deceased In Attendance 13 Juniper Street. She had only married in the March the year before (1930) and gave birth to my grandfather in the October 1930. There is no record of her burial anywhere apart from on the workhouse death register it said Southern. Now I understand that those that died in the workhouse wer usually buried in the grounds, and I also understand that the graves were dug up at bodies were re interred into Southern cemetery some time in the early 70's.

I have a few questions regarding my Grandmother which I wondered if anybody could help me with.

First Question;

1) My Grandmother had addresses on her death cert? Does this mean she was an actual inmate of the workhouse or do you think she just went there for healthcare?

2) What is the address in the occupation section on her death cert?

3) Where the hell is she now?

If anybody could shed any light onto my Grandmother's mysterious end to her sadly short life that would be fantastic.

Thank you

Hello just found my great great Grandmother on the 1861 census listed as a servant for a Knight. Not very exciting I know  :D but I'm just wondering if anybody could possibly explain to me in proper Laymans terms what actually is a Knight commander of St Michael and St George. Please

Thank you.

Lancashire / Planning a trip to Manchester Central library
« on: Wednesday 29 March 17 14:34 BST (UK)  »
Hi all, firstly apologies if I've posted in the wrong topic group. As the title says I am planning a visit to Manchester Central library, being fortunate enough to live quite close I thought I'd make  the most and see if I can get any additional info on my family history.

So my question is Has anybody been to central library for history/archives?  What can I expect? And also do you have any tips etc....

Thank you all in advance

Lancashire / HELP WITH FINDING A ROAD IN HULME, MANCHESTER, 1952
« on: Saturday 25 March 17 20:35 GMT (UK)  »
Hello everybody, I having some difficulty in finding an 2 old addresses in Hulme, Manchester. Now I know that the old Hulme was flattened and new roads were built etc... but I cannot find these 2 particular roads when I look on the old maps I cannot find them. The first address was: 7 City Place, Hulme. This was my Nana's address and I've 2 different documents  that have this address on, 1 being a marriage certificate and the 2nd being handwritten on the back of her birth certificate, It is definitely City Place, not road, but all I can find is a City road?

The 2nd address is 3 Asdon street M15, this is the address that looks like its been typed using a typewriter its written twice on my father's birth certificate from 1962 but once again this address cannot be found on any old maps I've looked at.

If anybody could shed any light on this it would be great.

Thank you in advance.
