Hi You can search by address on the 1901 census, you can buy a voucher from your local library or pay by credit card. Vouchers start at £5 . www.1901Census.nationalarchives.gov.uk I don't know about the other census records sorry Julie

Mandy The 1901 is the only census searchable by address. If its electoral rolls you need then those are held at the main library in the area Lou

You can do an address search (sort of) on the Ancestry copy of the 1881 census index (which I believe is free to search for non-subscribers). Put the name of the county & parish in the Residence boxes, and put the street name in the "Keywords" box, the last box on the search form. This only seems to work on the 1881 census, as the other Ancestry censuses haven't been indexed by address. Another way is if you've found someone at the address on one census, then search for their neighbours on the census where you're trying to find the address. It's a bit hit-and-miss, but with any luck, you'll find someone who hasn't moved in the intervening decade. Richard
