Searching Census by address

[Abie]

I really am truly amazed not only by the speed of response to the queries I've raised, but the generosity of the people on this site.
The address's and occupants I'm interested in, in the 1891 census, are 14 and 31 Murphy Street, London, SE1. These were the addresses of both my maternal (McCarthy) and paternal (Rogers) great grandparents in 1895.

So many responses. Thank you all. To those of you who mentioned Freecen, yes I've tried it, without success. In any event, it doesn't give addresses.

I'm afraid that Murphy Street is not listed in the 1891 census, according to The Genealogist, although the neighbouring Frazier Street is.  Murphy Street is listed in the 1901 census address lookup.

Directories are indeed excellent - however they fall short of the information about a household typically found in the census.

I know that, but that is not what I meant. I usually find someone living in the street and look for them in the census, if still there it is then easy to look for the number of the house required and get the full census entry. Of course usually only certain people such as trades people are listed and not every house is in the directory, and this means that not all streets are listed but adjacent street are.

It isn't in the index on findmypast either.

Nick29, on a certificate of marriage issued by St. George's Cathedral, Lambeth, the address is shown as Murphy Street, Oakley Street, if that helps.

Here is the immediate area

1) on a map of 1865,
2) on a map of 1897

On the earlier map Murphy Street is called Charles street. Which does appear on the 1891 index.

No sign (as far as I can see) of a Rogers or McCarthy in either Oakley Street or Charles Street in 1891.  Looks like the area was redeveloped to enlarge the public baths ?

Abie, have you searched for these families elsewhere in 1891 ?  People were quite mobile in those days.
