Searching census for an address.
« on: Sunday 23 October 16 16:21 BST (UK) »
I know I am not a beginner but I seem to be having a lapse!!!  For some reason I cannot remember how to look up an address on a census so would be grateful for any help. 😢😢😢

Is this on Ancestry or FindMypast?

If you are on FindMyPast, then it is straightforward and possible to do it from the census search page.  On ancestry, depending on when and where your ancestor lived, it is often easier to do an address search on electoral registers rather than census.

What country?
Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Have you tried putting it into 'Keyword' on the appropriate census search page

Hi Rosie, yes I have tried that but it looked like I got most of Edinburgh. Will have to think of something else.
Thanks for help.
