Lancashire / Re: The Grapes Inn, John Street, Ancoats
« on: Saturday 19 February 22 15:22 GMT (UK) »
I have been recapping on Lucy Yates a bar maid whose family ran the Grapes Inn and member pinefamily sent me a link to it back in 1916. Having found some more information on my family Gleave I came back to find the link you had sent me. Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore so I can't find her name at the pub when she married my great-grandfather Ellis Gleave in 1900. They lived in Ancoats in 1900. Any help appreciated.

Thanks very much to both KGarrad and Comberton. I love the idea that my relative lived in a Potato Pie Shop. My relative Ellis Gleave lived at No 5 and the widow he married was at No 11. In 1901 they were living in Mill Street, Ancoats. All the information starts to paint a picture. Thanks again.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Manchester Address of Vesta Street
« on: Sunday 13 February 22 12:56 GMT (UK) »
I have been looking for the Manchester address of Vesta Street where some of my descendants lived in 1900 both at numbers 5 and 11. I can't find anything about it online, its all advertising for the new waterside homes so I presume Vesta Street was near the canal and must have been pulled down by now. A picture of how it used to be would be nice if anyone has one. Appreciate any help.

World War Two / BLAKANG MATI ISLAND

I am trying to research my uncle Leonard Scholes who was in the Navy in WW2 at the above place which I believe is now called Fort Siloso, Singapore. I have photos taken in 1945 but can find no records of him being in Singapore or for that matter anywhere, all I know he was in the Navy in the Far East.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
