I have been looking at the 1911 census at an address I have on a birth certificate and although I can find 23 Alma Street, Lower Bebington (Or New Ferry), Cheshire, I can't find 25 Alma Street! |

It could be that No.25 wasn't built yet. I have come across something similar (although in another part of the country) where a street was half built and at the time of the 1911 census only some of the houses were actually occupied. Pam |

That was also my thought, 1 to 21 was on the 1901 census and 23 on the 1911 but not number 25!" |

Also, bear in mind that a lot of streets have been renumbered over the years for various reasons. Might be worth trying to look at an old map in a local library - or ask someone to check for you. |

If all else fails, and you really, really want to know, then the enumerators pages should help. However to get them you'll need to use credits to get a house that should be on the same run. |

Once you have purchased credits and looked at a census return, you can also look at the enumerator's description of the location which might help |

Unoccupied means nobody living there. Our poor rellies seem to move house frequently |
