Help trying to find/name a street recorded in 1901 census (for Oldham)
« on: Saturday 26 February 22 17:06 GMT (UK) »
I've found the location of some family members in the 1901 census for Oldham but cannot read the street name. I've tried looking at Ordnance Survey maps for the time and can find some of the streets (Featherstall Road North, etc) but not West Street and the all important one that I'm struggling with [looks like Jemme Lane]

Can anyone decipher the writing or offer their local knowledge.

On this map below where it says Busk Mills

If you start at the bottom of the map where it says Prestwich Division, go up to where it says MILLS.

Well done!!  ;D
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!

heatherjulie - well done!! I'd been looking at earlier OS maps. In retrospect, that was probably a mistake as they'd have been in circulation in 1901 but drawn before. Jemmie lane must have been added after the OS map was drawn.

Thanks all - much appreciated!
