Well I would never put the house number in when searching, and would normally put the place name in the Keyword box, rather than the Civil Parish box.
I suppose the question is - do you know if School Road existed in 1881.
Checking on FMP for 1871 there was no School Road in Hethersett, although there was "School House", and "by School".Elaine

GGFX3 died in 1861 at School Road, Hethersett. It must have been a brand new house then It was difficult tracking down where they were as the road has a different name now - but the local library told me where the original school had been so I worked out from there that a little terrace of houses nearby must be likely.
Ill have another go using less info. Thanks.

Congratulations!
Pre Ancestry, when we had street indexes and microfilm, best mate and I were trying to find her ancestor in Barming. We had the birth certificate with a street name, so we knew exactly what we were looking for.... and it wasn't there.
For some time we thought that the enumerator had missed out a whole chunk, but the modern maps showed the road was next to the pub, and when we found the pub, we found the family. Road name entirely different!Phoenix - with charred feathers
