I was wondering if there was any way of finding a census ref from an address. I have lost some rellies in 1901! They seem to have lived in Provost St, Shoreditch on the 1881/1891 censuses so perhaps they are still there in 1901 but were missed out? Does anyone know where on the 1901 I can find Provost St? Thanks, Julia

You can do an address search on the National Archives 1901 census. Lesley

hi have you got a surname? i will have try for you tracy

Hi Lesley & Tracy, Thanks for replying. The surname is TORRINGTON. I have Ancestry and have searched the parents and youngest children but with no luck. Their names are Marion c 1850, William c 1849, John Frederick & Percy Albert (twins 1885), Florence Jessie 1889, Louis Hubert 1891 & Ethel Rebecca 1894, all born in Shoreditch.

hi again have you got ancestry uk provost street is Census > UK Census Collection > 1901 England Census > London > Shoreditch > Hoxton New Town > District 9 there are 52 papers to look through what number did they live at tracy

Hi Tracy, They kept moving about within the street, from 11>72>134! If you have the piece number I can plough through all the pages! Julia

Well I've found Provost St - finally! That's a good start. I'm at number 70.

hi julia are you sure that william didnt die and marion remarried ?? i have searched and cant find them any where tracy

Hi Tracy, That thought had crossed my mind too, and I've searched with just the first names of family members, but still nothing!! Thank you anyway for all your efforts. Julia

hi julia im still here looking what was his occupation i cant find his death so he must be there were the names mistranscribed in 1881 1891 ?? tracy

Hi Tracy, Don't like to be beaten eh?! William was an Umbrella Frame Maker and in 1891 the name was mistranscribed as DORRINGTON. The only family members I've managed to find in 1901 ar their son Christopher Torrington, and daughter Evelina Powell who were married. That's not very good out of 11 surviving children is it! Julia

hi julia ok i know he is there this is from 1901 national archives site William Torrington 51 London City London Shoreditch Umbrella Frame Maker so ancestry must have mistranscribed it or havnt got it ?? i will find him brb tracy you could ask if any one has any spare credits just a thought please let me know im still looking tracy
