Is it possible to search for specific addresses on the census on ancestry? I am trying to use it to gain an idea of when a specific house in Kenilworth was built ... can anyone help? TIA

hi echo, if you look at the 1881 census for kenilworth, RG11Piece / Folio 3095 / 27 Page Numbers 2 - 6 they are for Ladies Hills. At the end of New Street, addresses are Grove Cottage,(HOH Sarah Crawford), Millbrook Cottage, HOH Sarah Brown also at Millbrook is Amy R Bright born Bangla Desh and living off a military fund; also the Wilson Family; Lissman family; the Younghusband family from Northumberland; the Judd Family; the Richards bamily from berkshire; then there is a shop run by a martha gaskins, then a Dame School run by an irish lady called McLenilken.then the Monk family, the head being a retired Commissioner general; then an author called Henry Churchill; then the Miles family, then the Varnishing manufacturing family called Browitt; then at a residence with 3 servants living in is an Elizabeth Walker living off bank dividends; then a retired schoolmistress from Nottingham called Stone, then a widow called Anna Gordon living off property income with her son who is a lecturer at oxford university; then the Dame school itsself with the head a teacher born Colomco Ceylon and a reachinf assistant born Paris France,
that's it, what a fascinating group of residents! i think these were very large posh Victorian houses, all had servants. amazing. i did think they may have been Alms Houses but noone seemed to be a charitable case!

sorry I;'ll list the houses names:
The Pleasance was the Dame School
Henry Churchil the author lived at Abbotsford.
the other houses were either millbrook cottages or just given as ladies lane.
I've worked out the route now, it was west on Coventry Street, the into the Common, then south to Mill End and Stoneleigh, then into Park Rd, the Ladies Hill, then west into New Street and High Street and then to the Castle End. so really from East to West for the most part.
