According to 1911 Oatlands was a private house, it has no number.
The family were called Buckland see

Thank you Stan- Would Anne and Henry Hartley live there in 1919 or, if not, how do I find out who did live there, as it may have been a relative. Janet

You would need to see the electoral register for 1919 to see who lived there.

Hello again: I tried to google electoral records on line for this date and address, and tried several ways to connect with no
luck.
Would you please advise how to obtain this information. Being in Canada I am not able to visit the archives or the
libraries if this is where the information is located, and is there a free online site? Thanks Janet

The electoral rolls for this area in 1919 aren’t online.
London Metropolitan Archives don't appear to have them for this particular year.
I think they’ll be held at Haringey Archives (Bruce Castle Museum), who offer a Remote Enquiry service. Their set-up is a little disrupted at present, but they may be able to oblige you with one straightforward look-up, if you mention that you’re overseas. If not, you’ll need to find someone who can visit the archives for you, or pay a researcher.

Please be aware that the electoral roll will not list everyone living at an address, but only those who were registered to vote there.
