My thanks to everybody who has helped here. I really do feel that I have learned a lot here.

I have a further question. I think it would be helpful for me to know where some of my relatives lived outside the Census years.
The directories on Ancestry could be one source, but are there others.
For instance;
1/ how would I search to find where my Great Grandfather was living at the time of the 1921 census when he was in hospital - or between 1911 and 1921 if he had moved house
2/ how would I search to find where his sister in law Agnes Gertrude Bolger nee Denton lived up until the 1920's

As an aside - I have just found that Alfred's father in law (Samuel George Denton - my 2nd GGF) died whilst living at 36b Eden Grove (Small world)

Electoral registers, as well as directories, are a good source to track people over the years.
Ancestry (which you seem to have a sub for) for have them for London as well as many others.
from 1918 there were 2 a year Spring and Autumn
qualifying date to be included was 15 January for the Spring register which came into force on the 15 April
15 July was the qualifying date  for the Autumn register which came into force on 15 October
from 1928 the dates changed slightly
1 Dec and 1 May for the Spring register
1 June and 15 October for the Autumn register

If you want to see 'which' register a likely entry was in, use the filmstrip beneath the main image and scroll back till you see the header page which will tell you
