The enumeration district description includes a number of 'yards'.......probably local terminology for a particular type of group of dwellings. Immigrants tended to move in to areas together in much the same way as they do today, creating mini-communities in which they felt more 'at home'. There may be some info available in Warrington.........have you thought of contacting the library there? Reg |

I believe Angel Yard was just an address. There are a lot of families with the same address. Andrew Sauce was a visitor in the home of Thomas & Mary Noon, also born Ireland. Rachel, it's HO107, Piece 2203, Folio 260, Page 37. Margaret |

Wasn't sure on the Yard bit because you don't really hear that now do you, so it is like 'Close', i see. Rachel, not sure of citation details all i got was Angel Yard, Warrington and that he was a Labourer |

Well Angel Yard would just be the courtyard or something - like the name of the road. But in the Liverpool area at that time there are lots of hostels/lodging houses for the Irish. m My OH GGMx2 actually ran a lodging house for Irish immigrants (and she and her hubby were from Ireland themselves). |

Hi, Wondered if anyone has any ideas i can't get my head around this one. I have been tracing my Grandmothers family (Ellen Sauce) and on the 1851 cenus i found her Great-Grandfather, born in Galway Ireland and living in Warington 1851. The address was Angel Yard, and there were other people listed at that address all with different surnames and mostly from Ireland, i am curious to find out what this 'Angel Yard' was, but how on earth do i do this? I will be grateful for any assistance, Ellen |
