1861 Census by address
« on: Thursday 16 June 16 09:24 BST (UK) »
HI I am trying to find out who lived at 166 Wood Street, Kidderminster in 1871 but am drawing a blank as I am unable to search by address.

I know the house did not exist in 1861 so can not search by the name of the people who lived there then. I am stumped! any help gratefully received. Many thanks Claire

Welcome to RootsChat  :)

The census on FindMyPast is searchable by address but in 1871 I can't see an address in Wood St higher than 75

Thanks for that. Maybe the house was not built in 1871. Thanks again :)

looks like they were built in the mid 1870s and there was gradual expansion of Wood Street southwards

Hi thanks for that. I saw these reports a while ago so was trying to pin down exactly when the house was built. It was sometime between 1871 and 1881 so that is as good as it gets I guess :)
