Can anyone advise me on how to find where a relative was living in the UK in 1953 please? The online uk census stops at 1911.
I am trying to find the exact postal address of where my parents lived in 1953.

Thanks
Miles

Hi Miles.
Basically, unless I am very much mistaken, you can't do this. You would need other resources such as a marriage or birth certs to find out the address at this time, or maybe old phone directories, but electoral register only searchable by address..
