Does anyone know whether you can search the 1911 Electoral Roll by place and in fact Street rather than by name.? (I have access to records on this site and Ancestry) A number of my ancestors (with three different surnames and subsequently inter-related by marriages) lived within the same road in London and I have located some by name/d.o.b but not others so I thought it might help if I got the records for the whole road?

Thanks in advance for assistance

Sorry, of course I mean "census" and not "electoral roll" !

On Find My Past you can search by place/street or name for the 1911 census

Edit - when looking at the actual image you can click on list and look at the enumerators list of neighbours. Sorry I don't have access to the 1911 on this site. Just checked Ancestry and the summary books do give neighbours but I don't think are searchable by address

Thanks K, just tried FMP and only brought up results for 3 houses in the street. Will try to view some images and see if I can do it the other way.

Thanks Thelma, that is interesting. It gave me a few more responses. Unfortunately all three of my names are very common so it timed out due to large no. of potential results. Gives me something to work on though.
