Sorry! I was following 2 lines of investigation at once! Michael John Atkins (a relative of my cousin) is another one who is very elusive on the censuses. So I have been trying to use the electoral roll to find him as well as my relative John Unite.
The old grey cells are not as sharp as they used to be!

Thanks for all your help. I think Michael John Atkins owned quite a few properties in London, probably renting them out.

My 2x great grandfather, John Unite,owned a property at 291 Uxbridge Rd, Paddington. I don't think he lived there but want to know who did. I found him on many electoral registers but not on 1841 or 1861 censuses. He also owned or leased 291-293 Edgware Rd, Paddington and 90 Harrow Rd, Paddington.
How can I find the enumeration district for an individual address without knowing the name of the inhabitant?
