Who lived there?
« on: Wednesday 07 September 16 13:28 BST (UK) »
How can I find out who lived at 66, Oxendon Street, Leicester between 1871 and 1885. 

Without any names I'm finding it quite difficult!  ???

Search on the 1871  and the 1881  census, I suggest.

I can't see 66 Oxendon Street in 1871 - The numbers seems to stop about 50.  I searched by address on F M P

Forgive me for asking stupid questions ( :o), but why do need to find this particular address?

Hi KGarrad,
I have a little book with the address inside the cover, and the very faint name William.  I don't know if William is a first name or a surname, and as I have MANY, MANY Williams in my tree I don't know which one it could be, but.........

Hi Kay99,  with your help it looks as if I may be getting somewhere.

Thank you so much  :D

From newspaper mentions it was a dwelling house and grocer's shop with a licence to sell beer off the premises.

The licence transferred from William Smith to Elizabeth Chapman in 1883.
