1881 Census Camberwell look up

[gaygirl]

Is it possible to look up a specific address in the 1881 census?

I have not been able to find my family on the census but have a death certificate  for 1884 and wondered if this is where they were living in 1881.

The address   137 Holmby St.  Camberwell.

Family,   Robert Coombe Sanders  Head.    Age 44    B.   St Helier   channel Is.
             Leonora Sanders      wife                Age 40      b.   Battle
Children,   Charles Robert
                 Emily Caroline
                 Maude Anne
                 Leonora Mary
                 Beatrice Louise.                          b 1879   Southwark

In 1879 they were living at    Block J  Peabody Square  Southwark.


Thanks for any help.

Holmby Street does not have numbers that high in 1881 or 1891    They appear to be tenements and the highest number is in the 60's.

I have just checked the death cert. and it has the address written in two columns and I can see now that it was clearer in the second one.

37 Holmby St.


Sorry about that.  It might help.

In 1881 at 37 Holmby Street is John W Corner, his wife Sarah and their children.  No sign of them in any house in Holmby Street.  Can't see them anywhere else at the moment either.

Thanks Rosie,

This has been driving me mad for ages as they just disappear in 1881.
