Hi Sylvia
thankyou very much for all your hard work and time on this but yes,I am of the same opinion as you, and am hoping to find out some more info if possible from a distant relative.
I will let you know how it goes ok
thankyou again

I looked and looked but could not find Jane before her marriage. There was a Jane Nesbit, servant, on the 1881, but who knows whether that was her?

There was also a Jane Nesbit with mother on an earlier census, no father there.

I wonder if she was telling porkies, and there wasn't a father?




sylvia

thankyou Jonesy for the info on how to search with an address,I am very grateful and will try it although I have`nt had any success when I followed Kaths suggestions.

I will try anything at this stage as I have been trying with this for months now,off and on.

Joan thankyou also for the info/directions I do appreciate your help and will try.

warmest wishes cathy x

Hi Sylvia
Yes that is them.

Lily (age 1 on the 1901 census) is my grandmother.

cathy

What address are you looking for on which census?

Kath. x

Hi Kath
thanks for replying. I will give it a go
cathy x

You can search the 1881 census by address and on the official 1901 census site you can search by address but this is pay per view.

It is possible to search most of the other census years by address but it is a very long winded process and is easier if your ancestors lived in a small village rather than a large city where there would be many enumeration districts to search through.

Hi everyone
can you tell me if its possible to search the census records using an address ?
thanks
