Hello Eileen,

Welcome to the boards. I use FMP which has a facility to search by address.

Before you start searching census for an address - have you done any research at your local library to see if the street has been renamed or renumbered over the years.

Researching:
PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England. Researching Caven, McKill, Sutherland and Will in Scotland.
