Wow, a full year gone by already, mixed feeling about that, I'm now a year older    maybe if I work twice as hard I won't have this feeling in six months ha ha.

It has been a great experience, the weather is no problem when your having fun & some good laughs with the rest of the gang. At times not everything goes to plan but, hey what the heck, its good to laugh seeing some members running around when they think hover flies are wasps hee hee. Wait till we do the other side near the wall, that should be fun, some big Spiders over there ha ha.    

Thanks for the fun & laughs to the gang when doing something worth while.

Hi Barbara & Derik,

Yes I do have the 1901 Census,

1901 Cen, 796, Ashton Old rd, Higher Openshaw, Manchester.
Thomas Edward Andrew 32, Machine Fitter, born Fairfield, Manchester.
Mary A. Andrew 34, born Bordesley, Birmingham.
Lilly Andrew 12.
Alfred Andrew 5.
Alfred Andrew 62, Iron Moulder.
Elizabeth Andrew 62, born Littleborough, Rochdale.

This is what I don't understand, my mother said they owned the Crown pub on Stockport rd opposite Shady lane, have Alfred & Elizabeth living with daughter & son in law on the 1911 census.

1911 Cen, 86, Stopford st, Higher Openshaw, Manchester.
Harry Walker 42, Planer in Machine Shop, born Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Lilly Ann Walker 35, born Openshaw, Manchester.
Annie Walker 8,
Thomas Edward Walker 6
Lilly Walker 4 months
Alfred Andrew 72, Tool shop Labourer, born Openshaw, M/c.
Elizabeth Andrew 72. born, Hollingworth Lake, Littleborough, Rochdale.

I just can't see them owning any pub, let alone Alfred & a brother going to Australia or his two brothers going to Australia, Think William Andrew died in Stopford st & his other brother James, I think he ended up in Portsea, Portsmouth, they were born in Duckinfield.

Thank you so much for your time & help, it is really appreciated.

Regards,

Hi Rocles,

Thanks for sharing the extra pictures, I've been researching Trades & Business Directories but, no luck so far for the Andrew family at that pub.

  Hi Mullpoult,

Thank you for that info, I have noted the dates down & it may help in narrowing things down a little more, maybe my ancestors owned it after 1911.

It is something I need to carry on with because of the family rings, I just need to know if the Andrew family did own the pub at one stage or another.

Thanks again,

spatts.

  Hi Keyboard,

I did see that one myself at Dakefield & another at Dankfield, I will go back to those again & give it some thought over the transcriptions then try a couple of other sites, see what I can get from them.

Thanks Keyboard,
