Is it possible to get the house numbers and streets in certain areas in England from the past? |

Thankyou both. I have just reloaded google world and taking a look now, though one of the streets in question is now offices etc. The reason I would like to look at the street numbers is because it appears my great grandfather, his father, his brothers, their inlaws etc all lived on the same street, or what I have discovered to be the next street along. What;s more, they seemed to have house hopped over the years. The possible parent/s of a illegitimate ancestor may have lived in the same street, and working out where they were located might solve some mysteries. |

I would agree about house hopping - sometimes large families and not enough bedrooms so they split the family up. Hubbies Uncle lived with his grandparents once the younger ones started to arrive - parents, 8 children, grannie & a boarder in a 2 x 2 up and 2 down terrace houses! |

Hi Wendy, did you know that when you find a census record you can click the arrows at the top of the screen and it takes you to the next record in that street. |

Check out these old maps they show the streets and business that were there. The Godfrey Edition - Old Ordnance Survey Maps - Index |

Yes Linda ty, but unfortunately, BMD doesn't have the census, and I'm not a paid up member of ancestry:( |
