Mappy Monday - The Manchester Percivals. Part II

To follow up from my earlier post, I have tracked down my 4x Great-grandfather George Percival in the 1841 census.

He was 55 and living at 4 Chadwick Street, off London Road in Manchester, with Hannah Percival, probably his wife, and Samuel Percival, most likely their son.

Chadwick Street no longer exists, but London Road is still there, part of it is the A6 which runs through the centre of Manchester, past the main railway station.  It's a stone's throw away from Holbrook Street, behind The Lass O'Gowrie, where George's son, also George (Jnr), was living in 1861 with his wife Sarah and young family.

The Percivals appeared to move in and around Chadwick Street; George (Jnr) was married from No. 15 in December 1841, although in the census earlier in the year he was living in the Union Workhouse.  In the 1851 census he was in Holbrook Street, but in 1861 he was back in Chadwick St, at No. 12a. I know from researching my previous post what a run down and deprived area this was in this time.

Now I've found the 1841 census for George and Hannah, I'll look for more details of their lives. It'll be more difficult to find George, as the 1841 census reveals that he wasn't born in the county of Lancashire.  I also have the Annett side of this family to research further.
