FMP and lost roads?

[ptjw7]

I am not sure if its me but FMP will just not find a street name on the 1911 census.
I am trying to find 30 Ronalds Road ,Highbury, the road still exists today so it should give result.
No street is returned for other streets in the area but if I put Highbury in as the area they turn up but looking through them is a nightmare.
Does Ancestry allow road name searches! I have tried but just don't see how!

I went into the Advanced Search and typed in Ronalds Road, Highbury and it came up with a list of people livingin Ronalds Road but it said Islington. Is that the same place?

Highbury comes under Islington.

I must be doing something wrong but I cannot even find the Advanced search!

If I do a Ronalds Road search for 1901 then a list of names comes up but it doesn't for 1911?

I put the address on Bing search engine ,and if you scroll down you will find maps. Then you could go to Google Street Maps.

Thanks for that Ellie I have found the street on Google but its on the 1911 census I cannot get to!
I want to find out who is living at 30 Ronalds Road in 1911.
They were there in 1901 census and a wedding in 1904 but unable to find on the 1911 census.

I have just tried to put Ronalds Road in on Ancestry under the lived in "ronalds road, Islington, Middlesex, England" and I got 33,847,363 records to plough through - I may be gone some time !!!

Well I have finally got to the street on FMP via Google which then linked to a different search page on FMP.
Still not there as number 30 was not listed, all the odd numbers were there but even numbers started at number 46
I then got the image up for number 46 and then stepped back until number 30 appeared - SO the indexes on FMP are rubbish in that they cannot list all the house in one street - no wonder then that you can never find what you look for.
The people I was looking for are there(well some of them) jst giving more problems than they are answering!:'(
