Hi - I am trying to discover who lived in the streets where my ancestors lived (in England) in 1881. I have the 1881 Census CD set but that no longer works on my computer and all my enquiries have said that the data is now online at FamilySearch.org. When I look for it I can find a search by name but I can't find a way to home in on a place like I used to be able to do with the CD set. Can anyone suggest how I can proceed please?

If that is not possible I have access to a very old computer which should be able to read the CDs but I can't find a copy of the Resource File Viewer. Is that still available anywhere?

    The 1881 England and Wales census is also available to search for free on FindMyPast where you will find additional search options.

    Thanks - I have found that now. It took a bit of time to locate the right piece number but I go there eventually.
