And just to add that Acton Street has sometime in the past changed it's name to Arbutus Street. It still exists but sadly modern on one side and cut in half by Stonebridge Gardens, which is now a park.

Hi Keith Thank you so much for this I did find a really good site that shows what streets have changed too. I tried searching another street in ancestry but what came up was nothing like I was looking for I didn't want to put in a name as this family are very elusive and think a "trawl" is on the cards

On FMP. the index should be free to search - sometimes that can help in locating an elusive address.
Otherwise, the 1871 or 1891 census may provide valuable clues. Landmarks such as pubs are particularly useful.

Hi thanks for this I luckily have a copy of a street directly for London so will try this. I could if necessary go to Worcester archives and use FMP free to search which isn't too far away always an option to try I tried the occupation one in the hope that the first names only too might throw something up but nothing as yet Electoral registers for the area have given several address around 1880-1881 time for the name I am interested in and because it says where the person lived previously can be useful . Thank you so much for the advice.
