1911 route

[lisalucie]

Hi, I thought id take advantage of this weekends free census on an***try and search through my ancestors neighbours. I am particularly interested in the one area of Wolverhampton and have a couple of old maps showing where the streets were in this area. My question is, when looking at the 1911 census and clicking the next button (for example going from number 1 bank street to number 2 bank street), when it goes from the one street to the next ( like bank street to frost street for example) does it follow correctly? Like if it goes from bank street to frost street does that mean they were next to each other or could maybe another street be inbetween and the census goes back to that later?

I hope this makes sense cus it's hard to explain lol.

It follows the enumerater's walk

So do we know of his walk was straight (like up and down) as appose to one street then go off to three streets away? X

The enumerator probably took the shortest route through his district.

If you have looked at the 1911 image you can look for free at the enumerator's route.  It is one of the buttons along the top.  The bits up at the top are really interesting and give a good overview.
