Can you tell me please - how do you find addresses in the census' without first knowing the name?
Posted By: poodlepup Re: Help Please - 15 Chapel Street, Seacombe - 2nd Mar 2011 12:44am
on one of the websites maybe 1911 or 1901 census or ancestry

there is a search box for streets and addresses

thanks, but I only have Ancestry.com with no 1911 census. What other web sites can I use please?

Hi ruth ancestry might have it on if i remember rightly i think you leave name's blank and just put road name and what county

website called 1911 census but you have to buy some credits to view full census

can't remember the others at moment its years since i done research
i will get back to you

find my past .co.uk pay per view was about six quid to view ten census

1911 is coming on to ancestry i believe
ancestry you can do advance search leave name blank fill in the county and then put address in keyword box then search

hope this helps
