Can anyone please tell me how to look at an address so that I can see who was living there?

Which census? The 1881 is address searchable on Ancestry otherwise it is quite longwinded

First, select the census you want from the list under the main search box and scroll down to the list of counties.

Click on the relevant county and a list of parishes comes up

Click on the relevant parish and a list of Enumeration Districts comes up

Click each Enumeration District in turn until you find the one with the street you are looking for. If you have the address on another census, try looking at the Enumeration District given there first (the Enumeration District is the number in the record against ED, Institution, vessel)

When you have found the District, click on the number and you can browse through the images until you find the one you want

1841, 61, 71 (partial) and 91 are searchable by address on Findmypast.

If you are looking for any of these years, post the address, and I'll take a look.

Address earch is one way that find my past is better than ancestry.
