As Sue pointed out, there are two streets on the pages you mentioned. I guess it was when you searched for Oxford Road that you came unstuck, with loads of results? Tip: If this happens, look at the other pages within the enumeration district you are looking at and pick a different road to search!! Because Oxford is the name of a place, there will be loads of Oxford Road's around the country (ie the way to Oxford from wherever) If you search for Elmore Street, Islington, instead, you only get one match. All the streets within an enumeration district will be very close to each other, esp when in a highly populated area like Islington! Happy Hunting Merry
