Can I recommend this web site which I found by accident.?
I ordered a couple of maps for my part of Cornwall & they came almost by return post. By following the "walk" of the enumerator I was able to pinpoint the house where my ancestors lived. I then searched Google Maps and was delighted to see they are still there. (the houses, not my ancestors).
Godfrey Edition Old Ordnance Survey Maps.
Apologies if this has been mentioned before.

Thanks Patricia, will have a look later. If your houses are still there, maybe someone can take photos for you.
