I know where Thomas's parents are buried near New Mills. Also that two of their sons set off for America around 1862, one was also named Robert. I am in contact with a Great Grand Daughter from this line in the USA.

About 15 minutes walk to the north east of Red Bank there is or was a St Georges church in the Collyhurst area. East of this church is the suburb of Ancoats with lots of industry and dye works.

The hotel was 'V' shaped. The point faced Jackson street to the east. The north side of the building was on Warde street which I bet was 141 Warde street and had its living quarters in the back section of the building.
The south section was on Preston street  which I think was the main entrance to the pub. This was the beginning of Preston street.

Warde street began east of the pub by several streets. Number one started at Renshaw street in Chorlton on Medlock.

You could say this was a very busy intersection. Just down Preston street about one block was the Hulme Hippodrome for 'live' theatre. To the south from Jackson street about one block was two movie houses, The 'Pop' and the Crescent. At the south end of the Hulme Hippodrome was the Junction picture house. Buses flowed down Jackson street from the centre of Manchester (Picadilly) and to the city centre along Preston street which was a one way street. Preston street and Jackson streets were full of small size shops and more pubs. Preston street fed most of the traffic from the next suburb Moss Side towards the Manchester centre.

The corner of Jackson street and Stretford road had a large Woolworths store.

All these streets and main roads were finished in cobblestones and gas lit during the early 1950's.

Rob Roy Court was part of the Cavalry Barracks close to the hospital on its east side. It ran into the west side of Lord street. Later maps dont give its name but the location is still there. I have saved you this section of the map showing the court name, is there a way you can e-mail me?
