Custodial history:
Moss Side was a separate township in the Parish of Manchester, until 1856 when a Local Board was set up; in this year a small, detached portion of the township was joined to the Rusholme Local Board. Moss Side became an Urban District Council in 1894 and in November 1904, the district was incorporated in the City of Manchester. For Poor Law purposes it was in the Chorlton-upon-Medlock Union of Poor Law Guardians from 1837, being merged with other townships into the township of South Manchester in 1910
