If I have an address is there any way I can tell if a person was living there. I know there are census records but I have no date of birth, death, parents names just an address. Thank you for you help? :lol:

Hi jjlmary312
I don't recall any way to search for an address on the Census records.
If you have the name of the person and where they lived ie county/district you may be able to get them.
Having a rough idea of their age would also be very helpful.
But if it is a common name there could be lots of them around.

Ancestry allows an address search on Scotland census records 1841-1901

Edit - given some of the transcriptions - could take awhile to find the right address

Why not just post the full address and the relevant year. There are Post Office Directories and newspapers that, with luck, may reveal a name, or at least the type of residence involved. There’s also Google Street View if it’s not too ancient. Hopefully it won’t be something like a tenement building with lots of resident families.

All the best,
Alan
