searching census by street (for ENSOR)

[teddygreen1]

hi can i search  a street rather than a person on a census got find my past and ancestry . if so how . thanks

[CaroleW]

FindMyPast have the address search facility on all censuses but Ancestry only has it on the 1911

The address box should be on the search page

Hello,
Yes it is difficult to search for an address isn't it- unless I am doing something wrong also!
I notice that you gave asked for this information elsewhere but there you call your uncle Stephen Ensor 
Have you searched 1901 for any family members?
If he was an entertainer,it may be a boarding house if it just says last address.
Regards
Heywood

Instead of the General Search select A-Z of Record Sets and choose 1901 England, Wales & Scotland Census if that's the one you're interested in

In the top middle of the screen you'll see a choice of Person and Address. Default is Person so click on address

Type in the address and assuming it's Aston, Warwickshire you want then you'll see


Moseley Road   Aston
Moseley Road (Stratford Place Here)   Aston
Moseley Road Albert Terrace   Aston
Moseley Road Cromwell Passage   Aston
Moseley Road Kyrwicks Lane Here   Aston
Moseley Road School Avenue   Aston
Moseley Road Victoria Terrace   Aston

Click on the address button on the RHS and you'll see the numbers of each household

Unfortunately, I think 57 must be in one of the terraces and numbered as such, as I didn't spot it in the general Moseley Road section

thank you all for your answers. last one works very well !!! however no number as mentioned

Thanks, Steve.
I'm sure I have not had to do that before but it's worked now.
