Hi,

Is it possible to find a specific address in 1901 without knowing the family? I've tried on Ancestry but I can't seem to work it out!

Thanks,
Clare

On Ancestry,scroll down below search box
select census
scroll down again
select county
select parish
now go through each enumeration district until you find your address
now click on district and look at every page
Long winded but can be done.

Yes, I have done that many times with my rellies London adresses. Not just to find my ancestors but to research the property and where abouts on the street it was situated eg "69 Leather Lane, Holborn".
