Find Ancestors

hi can anyone tell me what webb site has a free census for addresses...im sure there used to be one but cant remember.....i am trying to find who lived at 52 smith st salford in 1901...many thanks

It used to be easily done on FMP site but since they have 'improved' the search facility I find this impossible now. - I know a few have mastered it so perhaps someone else can have a look for you.

Who is it you are expecting to be there?

Dea Xxx

thank you dea...nobody in particular...it was just an address that came up xxx

Sprague family in 1911

I have the same problem as Dea on FMP.

BY George - I've done it !!!!!!!!!!!!! :-0

The answer is - NOT to type the street name where it tells you to type the street name but leave that empty and put the street into 'Optional key word' ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Voila:

P.S.

Mind you, the search did tell me that there were 274 people living at that address but luckily they were in alphabetical order so he came up first ;-)

You need to then check the image to see if you have the correct address as the majority were not even on Smith Street??

Dea x

sorry for late reply glitterbaby......well i have got a name that might prove useful xxxxx

ha ha ha thank you dea xxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks Dea

I took a look and did a help and found the page but wasn't getting the street to come up as I put it in street name, as you would lol

Knowing it's not the to right way will help now if I want to look another time providing I haven't had a senior moment by then and forgotten how !!!

Silly Shirley - fancy typing the street name in the box where it says 'type street name' !!! - You should know better! ;-) :-D :-D :-D

I don't know about you but I will not be renewing this year on FMP - It is now totally useless.

When Ancestry changed their search page earlier in the year I had half decided that I would just renew FMP and forget Ancestry but now FMP is even worse. I don't know why they always have to change things that are working well but I think there will be a lot of revenue lost by them in the near future.

Dea Xxx

I am seriously considering not renewing FMP too I mostly use it to look up for others anyway

Don't like ancestry but am getting around it a bit better .they haven't given instructions on how to navigate the site but I am hitting on ways as I go .

ha ha ha ....thank you everyone xxxxx

You are welcome Margaret - I hope the info helps.

Dea Xxx

P.S. - All my relatives and my husbands relatives are from Salford or thereabouts - perhaps we will bump into each other again in our research.

Dea Xxx

Thanks from me too Dea. I have FMP but yesterday couldn't master the 1911 address search. It was so easy before the "improvements" Shirley also had a go for me. So now we've both learnt something new. I'm off to try it out. :-D


EDIT...HELP.

i haven't got an "Optional Keyword" box.

From the beginning I asked to search census and then filled in the info on that page. Where am I going wrong? PLEASE.

I have UNTICKED my continuous membership box.

Tenerife Sun..neither have I :-(

Jude I'm pleased to hear that in a funny sort of way

I wonder if I've gone about my 1911 address search in completely the wrong way. I did try FMP tips/help etc but it wasn't much help


Come back Dea we need you :-D

(if you see number 1 above, All Collections is written above it, click that, then choose Census)

Probably an easier way, I'd like a Search Box for Marriage Year, if you know where that's gone!.

Yippee!

Thanks Chris:-)

Jude

Yep got it, not easy to find without help though, thanks Chris :-)

EDIT ...Using the same principle you can do this on Ancestry. I've only tried it on the 1911

You have to click on census only and then 'advanced' I think !!

Glad you got there without me ! ;-) :-D :-D

FMP - you are a 'gonner' very soon !
