Occupation Interests / Re: look up offer - Professional Footballers 1888-1939

Thanks Gadget - I would appreciate any information!  However, it seems that it is not the William Stevenson I quoted, born 1881, but his son, another William Stevenson, born 1906 (ish) who rumour has it played for PNE.
Thanks again

Are you still offering "look-ups" for professional footballers - I see it is a while since anything was posted on this thread?
William Stevenson, born Kilmarnock (or Glasgow in some census returns!), in 1881 apparently played for Preston North End in the eary 1900s, and may have played for Liverpool too.
I would be grateful for any information!
Many thanks

Lancashire Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Paint Works, Manchester???

Thanks for that - I had no idea when they started, but knew they had been around for a long time!!!  They have a submarine in the grounds that you can see from the metrolink - it looks as though it has dive bombed into the grounds!!

There is also
HMG Paints Ltd (Head Office)
Riverside Works
Collyhurst Road
Manchester

I have no idea how long they are been there - but may be worth a try!
Nearer to Cheetham than Gorton or Openshaw ....!!

Thanks - tried that some weeks ago!  I expect that if he has not visited Rootschat for some time, he will not get his personal messages - and may have changed his email too!
Just a forlorn hope - it seems a shame that all this data seems inaccessible - particularly when it might just hold the key to one of my most enduring brickwalls .........!!!!

I know this is a very old post - how I wish I had seen it earlier!
Does anyone know the poster or how he/she may be contacted?  I would love a chance to look at the census details talked about; all of my Naylor ancestors are in hiding in the 1871 census and they might just have popped up here!  The links don't work anymore.

What about Bury Council?  www.bury.gov.uk
They must have something somewhere!  The archive section of the library may be able to help.
