Thank you in advance

The 1881 is address searchable. For the others:

To search a whole village, just enter the village name in the
Residence, parish box.

To search for a street - long winded but you can do it.

Click on Home, scroll down to the list of censuses, click on the census wanted
Scroll down to list of counties; click on county wanted
Scroll down and click on parish wanted;
Then you have to look at each enumeration district discription to find the street you want.

It's also possible on FreeCen, if you fill in the year, street and census place.

(Providing FreeCen has covered the census place).
