Is it possible to search the 1891 and 1901 census by address only, if so how can this be done.

Regards Maurice.

If you mean the England and Wales census, I believe it can be done on FMP. I would offer to help but it is playing up at the moment, but it does have free access this weekend.

Anyone can search FMP for free - here's an 1891 search for Sepulchre Lane, Kendal.
I can't seem to get the house numbers to work, so here's the oldest woman on the street.

Last name First name Born Died Event Record set Location
Medcalf Sarah 1813 — 1891 1891 etc Kendal or Kirkby Kendal, Kendal, Westmorland, England

I can't see more than this without an FMP sub, but I can search 1891 Ancestry for Sarah - just one hit:

View Record Name Parent or spouse names Birth Year Birthplace Relation Residence View Image
View Record Sarah Medcalf abt 1813 city, Westmorland, England relation city, Westmorland

I can't see more without an Ancestry sub, but if you've got one of those, you could look at Sarah's image, and page up and down the street.
