Thanks folks, that's great!

All those people at one address. The reason I asked is I have a birth certificate of a child born to a 17 year old at this address and she is listed as a domestic servant . . . . I had assumed she had been a domestic servant to a (fairly) well off family!

How did you view the address & where do I put the Piece: Folio: & Page No. in?

LadyKira

LadyKira Report 27 Mar 2010 20:09

On find My past you can search by address.

Do you have a surname for her?

LadyKira

LadyKira Report 27 Mar 2010 20:11

Do not forget not all domestic servants lived in.

Hawthorn

Hawthorn Report 27 Mar 2010 20:21

Ladykira - Her name was Alexandra Sophia Bush and she had a daughter Alice Maude in January 1882 aged 17. The child died in April 1882 and the informant was E Green of 61 Oakley Street, Lambeth.

I appreciate the census was one year earlier but I just wondered where it was she was living at the time she had the child as she was from North Yorkshire. I suspect she went to London simply to have the child. She went to Canada (possibly later in 1882) to join the rest of the family who had previously emigrated there . . . . it's a long, long story!

Thanks - it's a very interesting story. I do have a lot of information on the family inc. census returns.

LadyKira

It is a long street so have not checd all but cannot see a candidate for E Green.

Not to worry . . . thankyou. Searching for Oakley Street, Lambeth on Google - Baylis Rd appears!

Just for info, the 1881 census is searchable free of charge at Ancestry, by address as well.

Hawthorn Report 27 Mar 2010 21:59

Thanks Janey, I tried but didn't know how to put the address in for the search after putting in London then Lambeth.

On Ancestry, to enter the piece/folio/page, do an old style search with advanced options. The Old/New switch is at top right of search page.

If you specify a piece #, then you'ld only be searching part of a rego district, Lambeth in this case.

Alternatively, just enter the adress Oakley, and the county. Here, Ancestry stuffs up the geography (now there's a surprise, even though they're using the LDS transcription), and instead of Surrey one has to enter the non-existant county of London.
You can then spot a Lambeth hit.

Actually, to page thru the 1881 households, it's easy to use familysearch.
First find an Ancestry h/h on Oakley, like your Tuckers, then look up one of them on familysearch, and use the next/previous links for their h/h.

LadyKira

LadyKira Report 28 Mar 2010 02:11

I think the point was there was not necessarily going to be a hit on that street. In fact there was not one.
The person in question was in Yorkshire and E Green did not live there.

JaneyCanuck Report 28 Mar 2010 02:32

Hawthorn, to search by street in the 1881 at Ancestry, you have to use the specific search form for the 1881 (the link I gave) -- it's the only one that includes a box for entering the address (the general census search form doesn't include that box). You can just enter the street name w/o a number, for example.

As mgnv says, use the old style search, advanced options.

Looks like it's been thorughly searched, though!

mgnv

mgnv Report 28 Mar 2010 02:45

LK - I wasn't suggesting entering a person's name on Ancestry, and in fact I didn't do so. I just wanted to find anyone living on Oakley, then look them up on familysearch and then cruise thru the census.

Hawthorn

Hawthorn Report 28 Mar 2010 09:41

Thanks everyone - I really appreciate your suggestions & help. I thought I used to able to search in that way, the "old" way.
