MANCHESTER ELECTORAL ROLL J BRIERCLIFFE
« on: Wednesday 15 May 24 22:56 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone
   I have been looking on FindMyPast this morning as I have a subscription for 1 month and thought I would try and find more on my John Briercliffe and variant spellings.

I have tried searching on the various electoral roll lists for Manchester but cannot find him?  Any thoughts/tips please!!!

J BRIERCLIFFE in the electoral roll for
Greenwood Street, Manchester Township in 1835


Not sure if the below is the same John Briecliffe!


https://www.ancestry.com.au/search/collections/2410/?name=_briercliffe

Name:    John Briercliffe
Poll Year:    1836
Hundred:    Salford
Division:    Southern
Parish or Rectory:    Pilsworth
County:    Lancashire.

The address is what interests me as he is on the 1833-1835 Manchester Rate books.  There was nothing of any significance that I could see on the Rate Books (No mention of what may have happened to him??)

Also is there any way to search just the address after 1835 to see who is on the Rate books then ie Greenwood St. Manchester.  Any help is very much appreciated.  Kind regards Dianna

As for searching the rate books by address. Just leave the name fields blank and enter Greenwood in the address field just below.

5777 results!

Down to 2614 if you select Manchester Township.  Still a lot. 😀

There is a Hanh Brightcliffe in 1837. (Stable)
(I hope that means she houses her horse there, not that she is living in it. )

Hi mckha489
  Thanks for that! Hmm will take some time I guess.  NOW with the Hanh BRIGHTCLIFFE (Stable) lol.  Is that in the rate books?  Not Electoral Roll?  Did women vote then. 

Yes wonder is she living in the Stable?? Many thanks Dianna

Hi Again
    Looks like she was in a house after all. Thanks it is from the Manchester Rate Books.  Could quite possibly be my ancestor Hannah Briercliffe/Britcliffe.  Interesting looking into the street name "Hanging Ditch" fascinating.  Thanks will see what else turns up on her.  Regards Dianna
