Locating 30 Lancaster Street

[Somme1200]

Hi there. I am doing some research into the family of my 3x great grandfather, Nellie/Nelly Faulkner. On her baptism record (Manchester, England, Church of England Births and Baptisms, 1813-1915), it says that the abode of her parents at the time of her baptism on the 11th of April 1875 (William and Mary Faulkner) they were living at 30 Lancaster Street, but does not give a town. She was baptised at Holy Trinity Church in Hulme, the site of which is now occupied by the A5067.

Can anyone help me try to find this mysterious Lancaster Street?

Thanks.

As it only says Lancaster Street then it would be presumed to be within the parish of Holy Trinity, Hulme

That extract is at the centre foot of this map, 3 streets east of the block containing an RC church and RC schools. (1915-16)

The same RC church is on the west edge of this map, 1844.

Thank you all very much for the information - it is much appreciated.

I was not able to find 30 Lancaster Street when I just typed in "30 Lancaster Street, Hulme" but I think that it is safe to assume that due to the expansion of Manchester's city centre and the building of both the A5067, A57(M) and other major roads that most of Hulme's streets are either gone or changed beyond recognition from their Victorian forms.

Thank you all

If you look at the side by side map in reply #3, you can see that Lancaster St is now where Hulme Park is.

As Molly says, look for St Wilfred's, Lancaster St was just to the east.

It is interesting to see how the city has changed over time.

It is extremely interesting. I was wrong - most of Hulme's original slum terraces were demolished post World War 2, both from bomb damage and from being considered "Uninhabitable"

Thanks very much
