it's possible to search for an address in London in 1920 or before? My grandfather was too young to be on his own in the 1901 census. I have just found out an address where I think he was living but really just want to check it out whether or not it is him. (If that makes sense?) Many thanks Peter

Hi Peter The only way is the old electoral rolls which are held at main libraries. If you're not close enough to London to check yourself, it might be worth putting the info on the Records Board to see whether one of the kind souls down there could have a look for you when they next go Lou

You can do an address search on the 1901 census if you think they were there at the time but I can be a bit of trial and error typing in the address as place names can change with time. Goog Luck.
