Answer 1

Disclaimer- this applies to US but *might* be useful for other places. My favorite resource in old records are land deeds. Warning, this is not for the casual search, or if you don't want it unless online.
If they lived at a certain location, and were not renting, you can track the history of a land parcel at whatever county office holds the deeds. There are indexes called grantor/grantee index that tells who bought it, who sold it. Once you find a date that the property was transferred, it will give a book/page number to find the deed itself. OLD deeds can be goldmines of details... especially if no other records show lineage. If John Smith owned a parcel of land in 1850, and James Smith owns it in 1875, that is a good clue that James inheirited it.
Not every house still exists, but if it was a well known house, it could be designated as a landmark. One way to run those down is google, using a term such as Dallas Texas landmarks.
In a town/city situation, you also might contact the local building department, in person if at all possible. Depending on the age of a house, it may have been built before permits, etc were required.
Many cities had what were called Sanborn's maps that were created for insurance purposes. If a large city, the reference librarian would be a good person to ask on that.
Almost all the genealogy or ancestry sites are going to focus on the individual persons or families. Few people bother going into the under the radar information as to where they lived. But it really adds to what you have, if it can be run down.
You can contact me via my profile... with more details of a particular location, I might be able to find further sources for you.

in view that this internet site is worldwide, i'm no longer in hassle-free terms assuming you like American supplies. There are some human beings by way of spelling of the sirname can't be cutting-edge in censuses. have you ever tried all achievable spellings? is likewise there any possibility to ascertain an handle itemizing or telephone e book? Is it achievable your prompt family individuals is the final of that thread? attempt writing what you do know down. See how a lot guidance you could deliver mutually basically from what you have been advised. Then ask family members approximately greater guidance, and in case you have them instruct them photographs. do no longer pay a family individuals tree internet site in case you experience you're no longer getting your money's nicely worth. rather, seem for a society. A society of the specific ethnic group, or specific area the place you know your family members lived could be waiting that can assist you greater advantageous than a internet site. you're dealing with a acceptance or area the place there is not any longer a lot guidance positioned on the laptop. you'll be able to could desire to commute to the area and examine greater interior of sight information in the event that they're attainable. Or your loved ones won't want to seem into their history for a sort of motives. family individuals tree does deliver decrease back the skeleton the closets. do no longer take each little thing you come across as precise, no longer all records are. in case you will discover greater advantageous than one rfile with an analogous guidance this is greater precise. now and back sisters could have visited family members for long classes of time or went to boarding faculties. they does no longer take place interior an analogous get entry to by way of fact of that. all the solutions are maximum appropriate. that's as much as you in figuring out on whether to take the subsequent step.

If you can find them on the UK censuses, you'll get an address. The US census have addresses for people who lived within city limits, but most didn't, before 1920; all you'll get are townships.

Many special collection rooms in county libraries have old city directories and/or phone books. These will tell you where your ancestors lived. Phone books start about 1920, depending on the area, and city directories sometime in the late 1800's.

You'll have to visit the library or send the library a specific request and a stamped, self-addressed envelope for the old directories, and, to be polite, a small donation, since 99.999% of all old city directories are not on-line.

By "specific request" I mean a list of names and spouse's names, the years they lived there and the town they lived in, not "Please send me anything you have on my ancestor, John Jablonski":

Dear Librarian,

I would appreciate it if you would look up my late great-uncle, John Jablonski and his wife, Esmerelda, in your old city or county directories. They lived in Springfield from 1910 to 1945. I wondered what their address was. I enclose a SASE and $10 for copying costs. Please donate the excess to the children's book fund."

Answer 5

Find a large library in your area and I'll bet they have a public access license for either Heritage Quest or Ancestry.com. Using either of those at the library means you get complete access to all of their databases (including who lived where and when) without having to buy your own membership. It's a wonderful deal.

Answer 6

I don;t know if there is a website but i'm pretty sure that if you know some geographical information ie where they got married or where they were born, then you might find that the local church could offer some insight in their records.
