Hi Everyone,
I was also wondering if any of our new members would have photographs or information on Wilton Street.
I would be most interested if they do.
Thanks.

Hi Everyone,
If anyone has pictures of the surrounding streets, they would be great to see as well. Hope Street, Keightley Street, Beckwith Street, just some of the nearby streets.
I would just like some idea what the area looked like.
Thanks.
Lyn.

I posted some photos of Banning Street, Beckwith Street, Newton Street and Keightley Street a few months ago here.

Marty,
Thank you for your reply.
The pictures are fascinating to me, they are of an area that I didn't know, never went to or thought I may have had a connection to.
It's only through researching my family history, I now know it's where my Grandfather was born.
Thank you.
Lyn.

My Family were born/died at 8 Wilton Street between approx. 1916 and 1947, I used to go there as a child up to 1947, I can only just remember the street, but sadly I don't have any pictures. Regards

Hi Locomotive,
By a strange coincidence,the 1871 Census shows my Grandfathers family living at 8 Wilton Street.
The Census returns for 1881,1891 and 1901 show them at number3.
I would love to see a photo of the road.
Lyn.
