can anyone advise me how to find a particular street/address in a census (1891/1901 would be best) trying to trace history of a building I work in but haven't any names to input. Advice for ancestry co uk would be the best. Thank you Lynn. |

Go to the census search, but then click onto the 1891 English census from the list underneath the search box. This opens a search box just for the 1891 census. Ignore the box, but scroll down the page, choose the county you need from the list, then the town or village. You will then see a list of enumeration districts. Click on the words "view the enumeration district" and read what is says. When you find the correct one click on the district number which is on the left of the list. This opens the actual image pages and you can scroll though to find the place. |
