Hi there

I'm sure others have asked this question before, but is it possible to do a a census search by address?

I am interested to learn about the changing fortunes of a now demolished country house.  I presume I need to insert the house name and census date into some sort of   a search engine. Where should I begin my search?
I am a member of Ancestry by the way.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Sorry for the late reply.

here is the information I have about my grandmother.

 Irish church Records
ELLEN SCANLON  born 3 June 1898
mother Mary Weir
 Father John Scanlon

1901 Census she appears with her family now called Helen in Picton Place Canton Cardiff, aged 6. This age seems wrong I know because she should be aged 3 !

1911 census
Nellie Scanlon  a visitor aged 13 from Kerry  is living with Ann Harington a widow aged 60 in Pontypridd. I think this is a credible record for her. I think her parents are dead although her siblings are still living in thee area

1914 I have her marriage certificate 4th July now called Nellie Scanlon marries Patrick Moore in Ponypridd aged 17. John Scanlon also on Marriage Certificate. This age seems iffy also.

finally her death certificate  Eileen Teressa Moore died July 1945 aged 47 in Pontypridd. This age seems OK.
My problem is; I have name changes, age changes. The only definitive records are her death and marriage records. If I could get proof of a date of birth from Nellie's life time which matches the possible church records from1898, I'm on the right track. Am I barking up the wrong tree?
any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for your help.

The marriage which Haydon found in Pontypridd is correct.
Finding her place and date of birth is proving to be  illusive. I have searched the 1911 census and there is a Nellie Scanlon as a lodger living with a Ann  Harrington in Pontypridd. She is stated as being  a visitor from Kerry Ireland. She is the right age  of 13.Maybe she was in service to Mrs Harrington who is stated as being a widow So I think the Nellie Scanlons from Newcastle are unlikely to be my gran. I have found a number of Nellies in the Irish censuses and baptism records. However,without a date of birth, I can't go any further. That is why I am pinning my hopes of a date of birth on her grave stone.
Can any one suggest any other records I can access where I can find her birth date and place of birth.

Thank you for giving a reference for my grand mothers burial plot. From this, I have been  given  a contact who can find out if there is a grave stone with the dates I need to continue my search.

sorry for the late reply to your posting

I know my grand father was in Pontypridd in 1914 as that was the year he married my grandmother.  He then went on to fight in WW1 but was a POW for 4 years and he did not return til 1918 He joined the Munster Fusiliers in Kerry Ireland .As I said in a previous post, Patrick worked for the Marquis of Bute at his estate at Dumfries House in Ayrshire Scotland.
What has always intrigued me is, how did path begin ?
From Kerry, Ireland to marrying in South Wales . On to Scotland to the Marquis of Bute then settling in Treforrest after the war as an army pensioner.

There must be some sort of connection. Does any other Roots Chatters have any ideas?
Thank you
