OK I've just spent all my credits on the 1911 census and didn't get the answers I expected.
Despite having a wedding cert of mt g grandparent married 11 mar 1911 it gives their addresses. So they lived there a month before the census was taken.
I can't find 28 Prescott Street, Hoole, Cheshire I only get the odd house numbers up, surely they did the even ones too?
(Family names David Davies Head)
Any suggestions ?

I have done the search and it is there.
On the home page, choose "search for a place" just to the left of the large green search button
Put Prescott St in the street
Choose Cheshire, then Hoole in the residential place

I used ST not street and 28 is in the list of results

I have just run the search again, using STREET and as you found, it only gives the odd numbers

Many Thanks did it , no luck though again a completely different family less than one month later, just don't get it. That was my final chance on difficult names JONES & DAVIES !!

Just in case you were looking at the other threads, many thanks for your info. looks like i'm at a deadend then ! ;-(

Can you see who lived at an address without having to pay like in the other census returns?

Susie,

If you search by adress it doesn't tell you who lives there until you pay

Best Wishes

Thanks I've paid some more now, had a look and still came to a dead end. Nevermind hey !

The address at which someone lives prior to a marriage is seldom the one at which they live after the marriage..........

If they are 'at home', or in lodgings or in service somewhere, they are unlikely still to be there as a married couple...............

I thought that but what about their parents would they not possible live at those addresses?

Not necessarily.........unless you have some other evidence that the address was the family home.

A lot of people would be living away from home by the time they were of an age to marry - perhaps in service etc.

One of my grandfather's sisters was living away from home at the age of 10 in the 1901 census, working as a servant.

Thanks for that looks like I need to find another avenue to search for these relatives!!

nudge, any thoughts anybody, please?

Have you tried looking for them by name and birth info?

Addresses on Wedding Certificates are often made up or just that of a friend. Sometimes it was to cover up the fact that the couple were already living together.

What about a birth cert for their first child that should have an address on it.

Not absolutely sure but I think if people where in their place of employment at the time the census were taken then they would not show up at their home address, but at their place of work.

Why not post the names and probable DoBs of the couple you're looking for and see if someone here can help you find them. As has been said, searching is free!.
