If you're prepared to work for it - yes (sort of), but no quick search. On the 1891 (for example) page, below the search box is a list of counties. Clicking on a county gives a list of towns/villages. Clicking on a town gives list of parishes. Clicking on a parish gives the enumeration districts. Clicking on a district gives all the street names in that district. If you are lucky it will give you the page numbers to go with the Piece/Folio numbers. Like I said, you have to work for it but it's better than nothing

Not on Ancestry, but if you have the census discs, they are address searched, so if you have the address, you can ask on the records board if someone has the area you are looking for. Some areas have name indexes too, for instance I have partial name indexes for London 1851 (very limited on areas) & 1861, which is improving more each week it seems. Hope that helps. I also have a Street index for 1871 London, so that is address searched too. Lynda
