As a cheapskate and without home internet access, I searched for as many people on the census as I could find and then went to Kew on Saturday and acquired lots of printouts.
Yes, it was considerably cheaper than using FMP and yes I did find out lots, but the only address or even reference on the householders' schedules is what the householders chose to write.
I was so busy printing that I didn't note all the references down. :o
There was the man who wrote "Lowestoft" as his address. There are places I've never heard of, so I haven't a clue which county they are in.
I have all my direct ancestors now, but I now want to see the enumerators' schedules, to put them into some kind of context. Indexes are wonderful, but what I've done so far just feels like a stamp collecting exercise.
