Is it possible to search censuses by address only? My daughter who unbeknown at the time, bought the house her 2x great granny had lived in before she died, is interested in previous occupants as the house is quite old.
TIA

Find My Past is I understand free this weekend, and you can do addresses on that.
Go to A-Z records, chose the census you want and under street name type the first bit of the name and end with asterisk, so Street, St etc all come up

Beware of shifts in house numbers over the years.

FMP also has lots of useful electoral rolls which you can search by address.

Thanks, I thought there was some way. I have FMP subs but couldn't work out how to find where the address went as it doesn't come up without using the A-Z and I never thought of that.
