Hi Everyone, Is there any way I can discover which of the enumeration districts in the 1911 census included Alvenor St and/or St Marys St? Is there a document which lists the streets in each enumeration district? The reason for my inquiry is that I cannot find the record for my grandfather and his family, although I am confident he was living in Ilkeston at that time, most likely at one of these addresses. His siblings and my great-grandfather all show up in Ilkeston as expected. I therefore intend to individually inspect the census pages until I find my grandfathers' entry. I will be most grateful for some guidance on this. Regards John Poxon

John, It is possible to search through the census on Ancestry and check the enumeration district schedules and therefore find the streets. However, a few points. I haven't tried this on Ancestry for the 19911 census, only on previous ones; also Ilkeston is in Derbyshire, not Nottinghamshire, though that in itself shouldn't deter anyone on here helping you; and thirdly, I am not certain whether or not Derbyshire is fully transcribed on Ancestry for the 1911 census. Others with better knowledge may be able to advise further.

Hi John As yet there is no one list of street/road names for 1911 but the easiest way is to enter the address into Ancestry as a keyword What name and addresses are you looking for its relatively easy to check Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > > Hi Everyone, > > Is there any way I can discover which of the enumeration districts in the 1911 census included > Alvenor St and/or St Marys St? > > Is there a document which lists the streets in each enumeration district? > > The reason for my inquiry is that I cannot find the record for my grandfather and his family, > although I am confident he was living in Ilkeston at that time, most likely at one of these > addresses.

Hi Nivard, Thank you for your help. Actually, a number of people offered assistance with this problem, so I feel a little embarrassed by the help offered! My grandfather was Ernest Poxon. His wife was Eliza Hannah Meakin, They had a son named Ernest aged about 5 years in 1911. To the best of my knowledge they were living at either 34 Alvenor St or 2 St Marys St, Ilkeston at the time of the 1911 Census. I will be grateful for your help in obtaining their entry in the 1911 Census, however I believe the entry was mis-transcribed for is missing, given the ease with which I have found other family members.

John, I'm sure others will say the same thing. If you give us some details, we can all take a look. I appreciate you don't want to trouble people and would like to do it yourself, but sometimes those extra sets of eyes and diversity of ideas are required. I had a similar case just this week with one of my own on another list. I wouldn't have found it in 100 years. Peter
