Where house numbers did not appear in the B2455 record nor the Embarkation Roll, I have often used Electoral Rolls to find a number.
Visitors should note that in many cases the street numbers of houses have been altered since the volunteers enlisted 90 odd years ago, and the number may not relate to a house with that number today. The Sands & McDougall Post Office Directory should be able to assist in determining this.
In these pages you will be able to see how many men and women from a particular street volunteered. You might also be able to see, if you live in a local house from this period, who volunteered from your address (given the proviso above as to whether the numbers have changed). If you don't want to know that someone who used to live in your house volunteered, and was possibly killed - don't look.
These lists are a work in progress - volunteers are added progressively as a page is created for them, so the lists are constantly (if slowly) growing larger.
