Is it possible to search by street name?

According to an email I received the other day from FMP the answer is yes for all the census. They say they are the only site to offer this facility for 1841-1911. (Other sites may offer it for some years.)
Have quickly tried it for 1871 and it worked. Just remember that some road names might have had their spelling changed over the years, or there may be a mis-transcription in the index. Buck Street instead of Back Street for example, so be a little flexible in your search.

Or if you have access to Ancestry and not to FMP, you can search with the aid of a street index or other 'old-fashioned' techniques.

Which street in which district are you looking for?

Thank you all for replying. Have an Ancestry sub and tried entering street name in “Keyword” but didn’t work.
Looking for the CHANDLER family at 57 Eaton St, should be sub district Howard St, registration district Liverpool.
Have been looking for many years, John CHANDLER (some records CHANTLER/CHALLONER) wife Mary Ann both born c1834 Liverpool.

Problem is can’t find a marriage for John and Mary Ann so don’t know fathers’ names and although all census from 1871 to 1891 say born Liverpool, want to see what they say in 1861 but can’t find them.
The above address is on 1860 birth certificate of daughter Margaret who died in infancy.
Any help much appreciated

Ancestry have not transcribed street names so entering it in Keywords won't help.

Eaton Street, Liverpool in the 1861 census is at RG9/2663 ff 47-58

If I have the correct family, for instance, 1881: RG11; Piece: 3606; Folio: 69; Page: 7;

It would seem Mary Ann's maiden name is Flynn, is this right? However, I haven't found a marriage to fit.

The Genealogist.co.uk has this facility, what is the name you are looking for.
