thanks for your prompt reply how far back can we go then ward boundaries seem to move for the local authority's convenience but chorlton's parochial boundaries would have changed with the building of st werburgh's as the township expanded in almost all directions and i seem to remember a boundary commission in the 's fixing the manchester trafford anomalies longford stadium and an area next the ta depot on upper chorlton road shifted allegiances as did the jackson's boat and loreto college further afield obviously i won't change anything until i can cite the source
