Wakefield Yorks, How do I FIND the road ect were it stands or stood
Any help apprieciated thank you :-S

If you have access to Ancestry or FMP records of the census then the neighbouring households and adjoining sheets should help to locate it. Also the description of the enumeration district will narrow it down.

If you don't have such access the someone will probably be able to look it up.

If that doesn't work, you could contact the nearest main library, or Archive to ask them to look at old maps, and try and work out where it would have been on a more modern version.

You could look on this site, and see if you can spot it.
