Locating two streets in Chorlton-On-Medlock in 1871
« on: Saturday 29 March 08 05:54 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone know how to locate 14 Back Temple St, Chorlton-Upon-Medlock (aka Chorlton-On-Medlock) for 1871?

Same request for 1 Taylor's Ct, Chorlton-Upon-Medlock.

I find relatives at these 2 addresses in 1871 but cannot find them on any map.

Thank you.

Cathy

Hi Cathy & Lancslass

I found Back Temple St on the 1849 and 1915 Godfrey maps, but not Taylor's Court (yet  ;D).  The area it was on is now entirely built over by the UMIST campus.

I was a devotee of the Umist student union disco in my younger days - oh my - but I digress..  To find the area on a modern map, Back Temple St was in the middle of the area now bounded by Altrincham St, Sackville St, the Mancunian Way and London Rd.

For the Taylor's Court area, I've now located Dark Lane and Union St, still there on google maps, north of the railway line through Ardwick and not far from Ardwick Green.

Comparing the 1849 and 1915 maps for the area, there was massive expansion between those dates especially of the railway. Taylor's Court must have been short-lived - built after 1850, then knocked down again by 1915.

Hi. On the subject of Taylor's court, why on the 1851 census does it list the houses as sheds? The majority of the people appear to be Irish. Were these temporary houses? My family were the Green's, who were visitors of Thomas Boyes, 6 Taylor's court also Irish. Interesting!

Ordnance Survey map  Manchester (London Road) 1849

Shows Taylor's Court is off Mount St, between Mount St and Bedford St.

If you would like to see it,  if you PM your email address I can sent it to you.

Hi,

On the census I can see there is no mention of sheds. Have you seen it on a census form?

Hi. It was a transcribed form by Manchester and Lancashire F.H.S. In the first column it says shed no. The second column has street name, then name etc. Maybe it's just some code for their records. Just never seen it before

Column 1 is 'schedule number' so it may have been a spelling error.

"Column 1 Schedule number: Not an address as such, but is used by the enumerator to refer to the census form delivered to the household. It isn't useful as the number will be different from one census year to another for the same house."
