census records

Post by alanffisher »

Not only am I beginning my family tree I'm also trying to research the occupiers of a particular house over the years. Does anybody know where I can look up census details by reference to the address of the property rather than by searching by name ?

On Ancestry you can search by address on 1911 census, and I have done it on 1881 census.

I think Find My Past allows address searches.

It depends a bit on the property though. "Addresses" changed sometimes as roads were re-numbered etc. It is sometimes worth looking at the neighbours too,
