You can do an address search on the 1901 census. Otherwise there are the electoral registers, which will be in the county records office, but will only list people eligible to vote (mainly men over21 and in 1918/9 I think married women and women over 28 qualified too). There may be street directories, which would also be in the county records office. nell
