Hi Cheltclaire,
If it's any help; in the 1938 Street Directory is a Mrs Ellen Wyke at Dale Cottage, Sandfield Road, Gateacre. Dale Cottage & Browside Cottage are listed between nos.8 & 9. Unfortunately not being local, I can't just nip around to check it out.
Also, in 1911 there is a Humphrey Wyke, coachman, at 6 York Cottages, Grange Lane.
I'm afraid it's not very much to go on, and presumably you've looked up all the census returns to trace your family.
All the Street Directories up to 1970 are on microfilm in the Local Record Office, so there might be something there,
Regards,
Ken

thanks ken
i really appreciate your help with the information. i knew that humphrey wyke (my pops grandad) lived at no 6 york cottages and that my pop was born at no 7 york cottages in 1922.
i dont think i realised how time consuming and confusing all this research would be!!
best wishes
claire
