Hi Brad Sadly in this case each page is as bad as the others :-( Its also worth checking the header page as that can also help (but again not on this one) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > > Hello Irene, > >> Is anyone able to help please I can't make out the address for my 2 >> grt g/p Charles and Elizabeth Francis > > Finally.... > > A trick I use in deciphering addresses is to look at a few pages before > and, occasionally, after the page I'm interested in.

Brad. Another trick is to look at the Description of the Enumeration District - because this sometimes gives you the route - certainly will give the boundary and then compare this with the maps either Google Maps or Multimap - for rural locations I find multimap better since you have access to the OS maps and this gives farm and other odd place names. To view the Description of the Enumeration District on Ancestry (the only site I have access to) after displaying the image you will notice above the image a line of underline text normally: County Town .... District x Make a note of the district and then click on it. This will open a "Browse" window, look down until you see the relevant district and then click on the "View Description of the Enumeration District" link. This will load the image of the "Description of the Enumeration District" page from the census - occasionally it will load a summary sheet instead (on ancestry anyway) not sure what is going on there suspect its the links in their database. Regards Kevin

I looked in Multimap and Albert Road is very long road and didn't show anything that looked hopeful Irene ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Poile" <kevin.poile@googlemail.com> To: <berkshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2010 7:38 AM Subject: Re: [BRK] 1871 census- address help needed > Brad. > > Another trick is to look at the Description of the Enumeration > District - because this sometimes gives you the route - certainly will > give the boundary and then compare this with the maps either Google > Maps or Multimap - for rural locations I find multimap better since > you have access to the OS maps and this gives farm and other odd place > names. > > To view the Description of the Enumeration District on Ancestry (the > only site I have access to) after displaying the image you will notice > above the image a line of underline text normally: County Town .... > District x > > Make a note of the district and then click on it.
