          Bondadiggamike has hit the nail on the head - it's Harpurhey in Manchester.

            Just as a matter of interest, who you got in Harpurhey? My Whittakers come from there.

                        After 1895, BMD's that took place in Harpurhey will come under PRESTWICH registration district.

                        That was abolished in 1925 and its worth looking for either Prestwich or Manchester North. They dropped the NORTH in 1939 and it just became Manchester!

                        This link will tell you the details better

                        Prestwich Registration District
