Happy New Year to one and all

Is it possible to find a house on a census that is on an unadopted road?
The house is in Pothole near St Austell. We believe it dates back to around 1845 and would like to find out some of its history .
The property is currently called Pendeen and it is in an unadopted road.
the information below is from Cornwall council website
I would be grateful for any pointers as to how to search if it is at all possible

Pendeen Pothole St Austell Cornwall PL26
On Road - From Junction North Of Trewithen Farm To Junction South West Of Little Ventonwyn Farm
Town:
St Austell
Postcode:
PL26 7DW
Ward:
St Mewan
Parish:
St Mewan

It is possible to search census on F M P by house name & village/town name

Thank you- I assumed you would need a road name.
I will try that.

All of their census except 1911 have 'house name' on the search page.  1911 has 'address' this works with no road just house name.  I just complete village/town or registration district name and the house name.

You'll need to find out what you can about previous names and owners from the title deeds and electoral rolls. You'll need to look at the census pages and follow the enumerator's route.

This 1907 map may help http://maps.nls.uk/view/105994846#zoom=4&lat=9343&lon=10585&layers=BT

You can ask the Land Registry for a copy of the deeds

Thank you - you are right that seems way forward.
Searching by house name shows nothing. It is most likely it has not always been called Pendeen.
Thank you for the link
