If you have an address on a birth or marriage certificate, and want to know if the road or dwelling still exists, have a look at the Royal Mail website. You will need to register (why, I don't know!) but can then put in a road and town. If the address still exists it will give you a postcode. If there's no postcode, it's likely the address is no more...

I'll definitely make a note of that as i am trying to see if any of the addresses for rellies on the 1891 are still around. Thanks Linda. michele in Haslemere
