Looks as if you may be lucky...From their Q&A section....

"My relative worked in the Royal Household. Do you have details about them?

The Royal Archives has references to people employed in the Royal Household from the 18th century, and indexes to names of people employed from 1660 onwards. Please put your enquiry in writing, including as much detail as possible, and send it to: The Royal Archives, Windsor Castle, Windsor, Berkshire SL4 1NJ. For earlier periods, contact the National Archives at Ruskin Avenue, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 4DU."

Good luck

Chris

The 1901 census is searchable by address if you go to www.1901censusonline.com, although you have to pay for credits. On Ancestry etc, you cannot search in this way.

I hope this helps.
