I'm still missing half a town and, with it, a lot of my relations.  I told FindMyPast in November and named the streets that I know are missing.  As they hadn't replied, I decided to remind them today and, before I did so, I searched on TNA Discovery and entered all the Piece numbers for the town with various item numbers on each Piece (yes, I am that sad), and there were no results for an entire series.  I've sent another email .........

I'm trying to find a house (Graig) in Llansadwrn, Wales which doesn't seem to be on a named road.  The 1901 and 1911 censuses don't show a road, also a 1931 death certificate just gives the address as Graig, Llansadwrn.

If there isn't a named road you won't find it. House names haven't been indexed.

My grandmother lived in a village in Winslow RD. I had to go to TNA and look at every piece and look at the other houses to find out roughly where she was. All the houses in the villages had 'cottage' names, very few streets named.
