Do you mean previous to now...or to 1901?

With an address you could check old electoral rolls and plot the voter occupants through the years.

Dont forget sometimes streets are renumbered occaisionally, its worth checking that is the house, Local Library or Council offices.

Researching:
For better results please give all the details ,name, date place as you can {pictures by me }

Gwyn,

I would love to know who has lived there since my great grandmother in 1901. As I live in the south of the country a visit to Liverpool is not on. The rest of my lot came from the Poplar, Hackney areas of London and that was well and truely bombed in the war. I have obtained an OS map of that part of London for the dates I need, so at least I can map them fairly well against the AtoZ.
