I don't think that's do-able on GR. It used to be possible on FMP; I don't know if it still is.

On FMP -

Click on Search to get drop down menu
Click on A-Z of record sets
Click on which census year you want to look at
Input data - I have just tried by putting Nottinghamshire and London Road (1861). It has given me all the London Roads in Notts with the RD's, Parish, First name/s, Surname, birth year and birth county.
If you know more i.e. the parish, beware - when I went back to edit and put in St Mary - it asked me to choose from amongst all the St Mary's everywhere! (but was OK when I put the RD in first i.e. Nottingham for this example.

Make sure when you eg. input the county that you want (it will bring your choice up in blue) that you then click on that to confirm, otherwise when you click on search, the county gets lost - I was just offered over 43,000 country wide results instead of 600 for a county wide London Road search and 286 for Nottingham RD

Also got results with this example by just inputting the RD (Nottingham) and London Road.

You can then click on any name and get transcription and original as usual.

Hope this helps
