  • Findmypast 1901 address search help

    I have put three different roads in and got zilch each time now I know these streets existed then so why cant I find them ???? thanks

    I usually put the town in and then select my road/street from the full listing.

    What county are you searching - 1901 on FMP not complete yet.

      Hi Elaine I am putting just the road name in street name and leaving the others blank too just in case
      I am looking for Brady Street Bethnal Green
      and Colebrooke Row Islington they are the main ones I need

        In the Residential Place box put Bethnal Green. You will then get a list of all the roads/streets etc in BG. Brady Street is the top of page 2.

        Same with Islington - just put that in the Residential Place - nothing else.
        Bottom of page 4 is Colebrooke Row

        I always do it that way, with just the place name, as it sometimes brings you up some options that you may not have thought of.

            Another solution, which is sometimes quicker, is just to put in the road name without the word "Road", "Street", etc., because they're sometimes abbreviated.
