John The simple answer is that you cannot as they haven't indexed the street names. FMP haven't added the street index search again yet for years other than the 1911. So it appears that all was lost then I remembered reading about it earlier this year. As I have all of the guild emails for the past 15 years (I know that they are online in rootsweb but it is so useful in outlook) but wasn't there but I did find this one on the SoG mailing list. " There are census street indexes on the National Archives' old 'Your Archives' site, however, not every registration district is covered and there are no indexes for 1901 and 1911. Also, the search facility no longer works so you will need to know the registration district that your street is in to browse the index. The web address is http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20120608115718/http://yourarchives .nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php?title=Your_Archives:Historical_Streets_Pr oject#Using_the_street_indexes" No entry for Brixton in 1851 so it was obviously a sub-district. Searching the census for the surname Smith in Brixton reveals that the registration district is Lambeth. Hope that helps Regards John Hanson Researcher, The Halsted Trust Website - www.halstedresearch.org.uk -----Original Message----- From: goons-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:goons-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of john titterton via Sent: 30 November 2014 04:46 To: goons@rootsweb.com Subject: [G] Finding a particular street in Census Hi Can anyone tell me how to find a particular street in the 1851 Census using Ancestry. John Titterton and his daughter Mary Ann should be living in Effra Road Brixton. But they do not appear. (Mary is still there at No 3 many years later.) I expect the surname has been mistranscribed but cannot find them using the common errors. If I could find the street then I might succeed. Any suggestions?

Excuse me contradicting you, but there is an address search facility on the 1841 to 1911 census returns on FMP. Home Page Click Search Records tab Census Land & Surveys Scroll down and enter house number and street Browse Record Collection and check Census box and Apply Filters Browse Record Set Scroll down the list that appears and click on More Check census year desired and Apply Filters Finally, click Search Census Land and Surveys I don't know why they have to make it so difficult, but it is there.
