Could someone please tell me how you find addresses on Ancestry and who lived at them. Many thanks. Nana

Hi Nana If you are searching the census, select the year and then in the search boxes you would fill in the county and town and if you know the district you can add that but don't fill in any names. This will bring up all the people living in that area. If you select any person you can then get to the images. Above the images you can get to the enumeration areas. If you know the area the raod was in you can find it from here otherwise its a long trawl through to find the address. This is the only way I know how. Someone else may know a quicker way.
