Thank you Dai I found from your good advice (and 3 trials) that it does work with house number and street name too which narrows down the search considerably. So I think I have found one of the families I was looking for but on the transcript the head of household is missing. I starts with 'wife'. I thought this census would be the easiest in that I know a lot about the people I am searching but it is more difficult to find them!
