Find Ancestors

This may seem a strange request but I need the name of Anyone in Silver Street (Kensington/Chelsea/Paddington) so that I can start with him/her and then search the street - any ideas how?? Peter

You can access 1881 free on Ancestry..there is an address search facility. Here's number 1...........

Thanks - hadn't thought of ancestry - still ploughing through family search!! Peter

Reg how do you get an answer, without a name I get no answers. Do you have to put a name in?

No, I didn't put a name in........just Silver Street, and London for the county......... There are stacks of records without names, but identifying the county brings up a name at the bottom of the first page of results...... Reg

Thanks Reg, that does not work for me though for some reason, I'm trying to find some one in Clive Road, Portsmouth, Hampshire (Kingston & East Portsea) but it fails to bring anyone up. Will have another go.

Keith I tried just 'Clive' in Hants.........only two places include the street name; Christchurch and Ryde. Have you thought of trying 'Olive'? Ancestry are very good at mistrans................ Reg

Thanks Reg, was not sure if it existed, relatives there in later census. Just tried Olive as well no luck either. I give up lol. Keith

Who are you looking for, Keith? Reg
