Search for an address in the census'? I'm a newbie trying to find out who was at 1 Bostock Street, St George in the East, Middx in the 1876 census. |

There was no census in 1876. Do you mean 1871? What site are you using to look up the census? |

If she was born in 1876 the first census she would appear in is 1881 - it is free to view on Ancestry (//www.ancestry.co.uk/) and you can do an address search. |

They're there on the 81 census, Winnifred Sims, age 4, with parents George & Mary and sisters Annie & Jane. Although no house number is given the next house is 3 Bostock Rd. (The name is transcribed Winefried) |

Sorry everyone, I've just realised I put the wrong date in and come back to change it and found all these replies - you're all very quick off the mark - thanks very much for the replies so far, loads of info I haven't gone into yet !! |

That's great, it confirms they were living at number 1 in 1871. So I wonder why she was living alone with her sister at number 6 only 30 years later? I suspect (as Pamela says) mother & father died (of what?) - elder sister married perhaps? But why move to number 6 with a married German couple as boarders? |
