History of my childhood home.

Hello! The house that I lived in as a young child was bought by compulsory purchase and demolished to make way for maisonettes in the 1960s. I would love to find out a bit more about my old home but can't seem to be able to put just an address into the census forms. Does anyone know how to go about this? Any help would be gratefully received. :-)

if you can put address some one could check 1939 reg to see who lived there

Which census records are you searching - provided by genes, FMP or Ancestry or some other company?

The actual address might have changed through the years to make searching more difficult - have you found the house on old maps?

I am trying to use the censuses on Genes. It allows me to search for a person but not an address.
