And of course Ancestry.... Ok you can't just input an address but..... You can narrow your search down using the enumeration district pages (If they exist!) for a particular Parish. Chris :)

For addresses.... 1901 http://www.censusdecoder*com/ replace * with a . (dot) You can get matches for people at the same address but obviously limited details. 1881 www.familysearch.org Will match address details for people. 1841/61/71/91 http://www.findmypast*com/CensusChooseSearchType.jsp Will confirm whether an address existed but you would need to buy units to view the images. In all the sites you may need to be a bit 'creative' in inputting the address info as if you get it 'just a bit' wrong the address won't show. Chris

You will find a relationship calculator here:- http://www.dramsden(.)co.uk/cwhome/relationship.asp remove brackets. You need to decide who is your common ancestor first, and then put in your relationship to the common ancestor and the other person's relationship to the common ancestor. Kath. x

I have been researching for about 5 years now and whilst much needed info has now started to flow my way I need more resources. So my questions are I recall a site that could give me information about who lived at a particular address. Any ideas? I am also needeing to work out my ansectors and what relation they would be to me, example my grandmothers daughters son! is there a refrence guide for this?
