Problem Using 1911 Census Address Search
« on: Sunday 27 May 12 12:09 BST (UK) »
Hello,

One of my ancestors and his family were living in Devonshire House, Mellor Road , Mellor at 1901 Census date, but by 1911 Census time , they had moved elsewhere. I am trying to find out who occupied this house at 1911 Census date (and also between 1901 and 1911 if at all possible).

Devonshire House is still there , the present-day address being 32 Longhurst Lane, Mellor.

The 1911 Census Address Search facility in FindMyPast throws up Longhurst Lane, Mellor but despite many attempts in all sorts of ways to locate Devonshire House  (I don't think there were house numbers at that time), I've had no luck.Had I found it, of course, I would have been able to identify the occupants.

Can anybody help with this one please?

Chanel

Hi,
Try searching for Herbert Montagne Rumble living in Hayfield.

Hi Cathy,

That was the bit I need to get started. Thanks very much.

You don't happen to have the means of finding out who the occupants were between Censuses, do you???

Hi Bob,
No sorry, no idea on that one, perhaps someone else may have an idea.
Good hunting :)

Thanks, anyway, Cathy. I think it's probably asking for the moon!!!
