I'm trying to find an address on the 1911 census - I used to be able to do this before they upgraded the search and I refuse to be beaten now! Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong, please.
I clicked the 'Search records' tab and selected 'Census, land and surveys' from the drop-down menu.
Next I clicked on 'All collections' and selected 'Census'.
In the box after 'Britain' for the 'Where' information I typed Twickenham.
Address House Number: 44
Street: Bonser Road
Record Set: I selected the 1911 census.
Clicked Search......waited..... got 0 results!
Next I played with the electoral rolls and ancestry's 1911 census and found that Catherine Ellen Simmonds was living at 44 Bonser Road (and that's not helping, but that's a different issue!). I searched for her by name on FMP and this is part of the transcript of her entry.
First name(s) Catherine Ellen
Last name Simmonds
Relationship to household head Head
Marital condition Widow
Gender Female
Age 65
Birth year 1846
Birth place Sussex Hastings
Occupation Private Means
Address 44 Bonser Road Twickenham
Parish Twickenham
County Middlesex
I had already tried not including the house number and/or leaving off 'Road' in case it was abbreviated, neither of which produced any results. I'm clearly doing something wrong :o Any ideas please?
