Find Ancestors

hi I know this might be a strange question but i am trying to find cencus information on an address i have no idea who lived there but i need to find out who did and i need to do a cenus search from 1841 - 1901 for 89 high street battle sussex and 90 high street battle sussex

would be great if anybody could help

1881 is easy as it is free on several sites

Other census can be searched by address on Findmypast but that costs

Can be done on Ancestry but takes a lot longer

The 1881 census is searchable by address and I believe the 1901 is on FMP.

You can search other censuses by address on Ancestry but it is a bit longwinded. Will see if I can remember how to do it and then post the instructions.

hi glitter i pay for ancestry and tried to be clever on the cencus and type the address but as i have no idea of names it came up with over 30 thous names for battle and would take forever to go through plus on alot of the old cencus it does not give full address as in house number it normally only gives road names

but cheers for ur help

1911 in case it is useful

1891 search for John Still as he is at 90 High st

Class: RG12; Piece: 769; Folio 24; Page 20; GSU roll: 6095879

1841 has no house numbers. 122 families listed in the high street.

1881 John Still is again in the High St but not numbered

thanx to every1 u have been so much help

Do you know if the street has been renumbered over the years?

Once did some research for another member on my local High St.

Yes there are numbers 50, 51 etc but those properties are different to what is on the 1901 and 1911 census as the street was renumber in 1902

To search the 1891 on Ancestry, select 1891 England census; on the right of the screen is a search box where you can select the county, then the Civil Parish (in this case Battle). This brings up a list of Enumeration Districts. Click on the Enumeration Description brings up a handwritten description of which streets, etc are in that District.

District 2 for Battle covers the High Street. If you click on the District No, you can browse through the sheets for the District - a bit time consuming if there are a lot.

The 1891 for this district does appear to have house numbers.

No High St listed in 1851.
High St back again in 1861 will look for "Still"

Edit: 1861 high street schedule 110
George Till Iron monger from Gainsborough and family from Battle.

1871 John Still again in the High St but not numbered

Class: RG10; Piece: 1036; Folio: 21; Page: 33; GSU roll: 827479.

thanx potty

to be honest glitter im not 100% sure as i know the building originally dated from 1406 as was the accountants home to the abbey so i think its likely that the number had changed but like i say not 100% sure

1861 select Sussex, Battle,ED 1
This lists some of the High St
