Look Up A House on the census returns?

[peakoverload]

I've been tracing my family tree for many years but would like to trace the history of the house I grew up in. I've been able to find a bit about it as it has a preservation order on it and is mentioned in a couple of local history books so I know when it was built and who by.

What I would love to do is find out who was living in it over the years. To make matters a little confusing, some time after 1911 the house numbers in my street got changed but I've just been able to find out what the original numbers were. With that information I've found the house and it's occupants on the 1911 census.

Is there a way of doing this on earlier census returns? I've trawled through the 1901 census and although I could find my street there wasn't anything that explicitly gave the house numbers. IIRC schedule numbers don't refer to house numbers and can change from year to year.

Is there any clever way of locating a particular house on earlier census's?

Only if was in a distinctive place, like next to the pub or something! 
Otherwise, if it is in a row of houses, it will be hard to pinpoint which one in earlier censuses when addresses often didn't get more specific then the name of the village, or "The Street" with no numbers.

Possibly neighbours but people did move around a lot.
