I recieved the following reply from Tracey after asking for a VRI lookup,and although i had searched the 1901 a while back it was before i found the decoder, so only looked for family i knew of by name. I have been trying all morning to open an account by credit card to re-look at this address to find out about these other 11 people but my computer keeps locking out on me, i was wondering if anyone out there has an active account at the moment and would kindly have a look at 74 High Street, Lewisham for me to see who was living with my realtives. I have emailed the census people for advice, as i know its not my card or computer that is the problem........i have been ordering certificates quite happily from the GRO this morning, but dont know how long it will take then to reply. Thankyou very much Yvette Sorry Yvette, i couldn't see anything on VRI version 2 either. But it seems there's a right house full in 1901. I think Thomas's father was living there, William aged 56 a bootmaker. You'd probably be best viewing the image of the household because looking at the person ID's, there's at least 17 people there. Thomas was a fruiterer green age 35. Good luck! (they were in the parish of Lambeth) Tracey --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a live account at the moment. How do I use this function. I clicked address search. What do I enter? I keep getting a search taking too long error. By the way, I am on broadband.
