1921 census

[phil57]

Addresses are on a separate page.  If you go into your search results (no extra charge) then you will see under the image "Extra Materials" and if you click on that you can see a number of options - click on "Front" and that will give you the address.  A double-sided form 

This might help!

Yes, I know that, but the box on the "Front" page (Schedule) has nothing written in it at all. It is completely blank, and short of viewing all other pages in the same piece or set in the hope that I might find more information somewhere in the set, I'm stumped!

I will probably wait until Ancestry has it.

The only one of mine I’ve looked at as a full image has a good map, and also a description of the boundaries of the enumeration area.
Can that help localise a possible institution ?

Phil,

In the "extra materials" there is an option "Plans of Division".  On those I've downloaded it lists the streets, in your case it may even list the institution if it is large enough.

Added: Mckha, I think I have just said the same as you, but in different words

That's probably a 6 year wait?

Thanks both. There are no Plans of Division in the extra materials for this particular record set. The cover image indicates that the piece covers part of Romford South Ward. The Romford Workhouse is shown on the maps to the SW of the town, but the workhouses.org.uk site states that Romford Union used the scattered homes system for children from 1905, and there appear to have been homes in between five and eight locations in Romford and Ilford by 1914.

I already have a page from a different piece in the 1921 census for this individual's older sister, at a scattered home in King Edward Road, Romford, also in the South Ward, so at least I know it isn't that one.

I will have to do more digging and see what comes up. I haven't been able to locate a reference for piece numbers so far.

The piece number etc is on the transcript of my one, but I can’t see it anywhere on the actual documents.

On the document is the

Reg district & sub district and enumeration district.   (On the “front” that you say is blank on yours)

I have purchased three original pages of the 1921 census that apply to my grandparents and am surprised that they do not seem to display a place of residence. This was one of the reasons that I subscribed in the first place. Previous censuses had their addresses in the first column. Am I missing something?

Yes -- several previous queries / replies about this!

Open the "filmstrip" at the bottom of the screen
Click on "Extra Materials
Then select "Front" --this will give the address

I have found that the 'Front' is often not sufficient, especially in somewhere like London, where you may just get a street name and postal district on the 'Front', you also need to download the 'Cover' which gives more specific area info i.e. civil parish, borough, ward, parliamentary borough, ecclesiastical parish etc. Extra Materials also includes a map showing the sub sections of that area often highlighted in different colours.

The Transcripts have very detailed maps if you scroll down to the end. You can also select which map to show -
