"in Upper Conranlt Harpswikey Lancaster Manchester "

speaking as someone who grew up 9 miles from Manchester, I do have to say that this makes absolutely no sense at all.

Where did you find this???? It's an absolute garbage transcription!!

Maybe I could read what is really written there!


Unless they lived close to William ............ safc posted the 1901 census for him.

Look at the address :-)

so the address in full should be .............

It is in the Registration District called Prestwich but this should not be included in the address.

Has anyone got the 1939 Register? I have looked for Thomas Tunstead born abt 1866 Ireland who died 1948 at Manchester, also his wife Elizabeth Ellen born 1870 died 1940 at Manchester with no luck even looked on names sounding similar

NATIONAL PROBATE CALENDAR
TUNSTEAD Thomas of 38 Durham Street Manchester died 2 January 1948 Administration Manchester 24 February to Thomas Tunstead Engraver Effects 267 pounds 6 shillings 5 Pence

They were mistranscribed. Found them at 38 Durham St as per probate.

Tunstead on the register image.

Twistead Household (4 People) 38 Durham Street , Manchester C.B., Lancashire, England

Thomas Twistead 25 Dec 1865 Male Cleaner Engraver Colics Pri? Married 19 1
Elizabeth E Twistead 26 Feb 1867 Female Unpaid Dometsic Duties Married 19 2
Thomas Twistead 29 Nov 1898 Male Inspector & Foreman Transport Single 19 3
Freda Brown (Twistead) 17 Sep 1910 Female Shop Ass Grocery & Provi? Single 19 4

Ref: RG101/4516C/003/5

Freda was originally Tunstead on image and this as crossed out later and Brown added.

EDIT: I've reported the error of Twistead instead of Tunstead.
