How do I look up a street rather then a person?
« on: Tuesday 12 June 07 20:13 BST (UK) »
I've got the folio for my Gt grandfather and his family but I want to get an idea if there were any other Irish living close by and where they may have come from( not necessarily in the same boarding house as him)

How do I put in an area. ie - RG10/120/20 without putting in a surname in the search engine? I've tried on both ancestry and findmypast.com but neither will give me a return without a specific name
Eaton (Woughton on the Green, Doncaster and N. London), Davis(Shinfield and London), Harrington (Ireland and London), Sutcliffe (Todmorden and London), Williams, Hollingsworth (Thaxted), Lane (Rotherhithe), Fuller (Chesterton, Cambs), Dilley (who knows where????)

Strange, Jillie  ???

You can leave any field blank on ancestry  ???

Just type in the piece, folio and page number and the page should come up ...

I just tried on Ancestry and it gave page 34 just like Tati said. The only other page which is available for this folio is page 33.

Thanks for your replies. I've just tried again and it does show me the list. However, Having tried that 3/4 hour ago it simply wouldn't bring up any results. I've had unexplained problems with ancestry before.

Anyway, got what I need now

Thanks again
