I think we can help you at least in part. We have the Bancks & Co
maps, both reproductions and originals, and this goes for the Green
maps too. Unfortunately our copy of the 1838 Johnson map has been
missing for some time, although we do have an 1820 Johnson map of
Manchester, which shows townships.
Please contact me if you need any further information.
