There doesn't seem to be an easy (if any) way, Gins. If you post some details, I can look on Ancestry for you but I have found that a lot of the addresses are incorrect as they have been transcribed using OCR which has really scrambled them up!

Thanks Potty. I have looked at Ancestry but they wouldn't have the recent ER

How recent do you mean?

searchelectoralroll lets you search by address, but not free, and I expect that's a lot more recent than you want:

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

If the current address is privately owned then the owner can possibly found by using Land Registry search

https://www.gov.uk/get-information-about-property-and-land/search-the-register

It costs £3 to download the title register.

If the property is rented then the owner would probably be the landlord.

It would depend on your reasons for wanting to know as to how you would proceed from there.

You could do it on 192.com but it could work out quite expensive. They list all the houses in a street/full post code rather than the specific one. The house numbers are redacted.

If you don't know the post code, this would help
http://www.postoffice.co.uk/postcode-finder

By using the PC, it limits the number of houses returned in a 192.com search
