Robin I too found that the address I was looking for did not appear - some the even numbers did, but not the odd. When I found the entry the number and street were clear but presumably not indexed. My guess is that there must eb a number of omissions. Unfortunately the surname was not indexed either. A couple of things that worked for me: 1. I searched using forename and exact birth date and found my grandfather entered as Willie ~??? 2. Once you find one person it is possible to search on the piece and item number. This gives you a list of all those on that schedule. The piece/ite, number search may be worth trying if you look at another house number on Garden Street. I suppose if this fails you might need to think about how sure you are that this was the address?

Thanks for the helpful advice on searching for my grandmother in Garden Street I have now established that there is a missing item number for the major part of Garden Street Accrington The missing item number is 4681a/ 022 covering house numbers 6 to 38. A search for this item number gives zero returns so I am trying to get the online support team at findmypast to sort it out. Regards Robin For information hovering over the preview button on the street search results shows the piece and item number I can see that 4681a/021 is the item number which includes the households at No 42 and 44 and that 4681a/023 is the item number which included the household at No 40 and 42 Garden Street.
