how do I find an address on census?
« on: Monday 26 October 09 10:47 GMT (UK) »
Could somebody help me?   I'm not particularly computer literate!

I would like to know who was living at 20 George Street, Hanover Square, London on 1871 census, but I just don't seem able to do it!

Best wishes

Pat R

Very grateful for any help

You need a street index.

Pat,
Looks like just two servants living there:
An**ice Lewis 22 unmar cook b Hereford
Ellen Tamber(?) 20 unmar serv b Oxfordshire Benson

Previous residence, number 19 is headed by James Ruttledge widr 61 Physician University Glasgow b Middx Hampton COurt
daur Florence
plus servants

At No 21 are 3 more servts
then at 22 is another doctor.

So it kindof looks like three residences which may be part of the same household. SOmeone may be able to have a look and give their opinions.  ;)

Yes, next to Annie Lewis' status it is given "servant" but then in small letters "in charge".

Thank you everybody for your replies - as I said I'm not very good at this, where do I find a/ a street index, and b/ how do I find out who actually owns the house?

Pat, what names were you hoping to find at Number 20? Any of those mentioned above?

Where did you get the address from?

Hi,

My 4 x great grandmother, Ellen Marsden died at 20 George Street Hanover Square on 14th June 1870. She was born in Bolton, lived in Manchester, and is buried in Devon.

There are several branches of the Marsden family I have'nt managed to trace, and I was just wondering if she was staying with relatives when she died as per the death cert (where I got the above info from) she had been ill for less than 1 week.

So I thought if I could find out who owned the house it may give me a clue.

Best wishes
Pat
