Yes it is - go to Advance Search, then towards the top of the screen are 2 half ovals. The default (in green) will be Person. Just click on Address next to it.

Enter Lambeth as the Borough, then (in this case) Dorset Road. 3 results
Dorset Road Lambeth London England - Addresses
Dorset Road S W Lambeth London England - Addresses
Dorset Road Upper Lambeth London England - Addresses

Click on the addresses and see how you get on....not that Edward is listed at no 27.

Dye Household (1 Person) 27 Dorset Road , Lambeth, London, England
Albert E Dye 04 Aug 1886 Male Railway A R P Granesman Married

Taylor Household (2 People) 27 Dorset Road , Lambeth, London, England
George J Taylor 17 Nov 1912 Male Lorry Driver Married
Nelly K Taylor 25 Feb 1913 Female Housewife Married
(plus one closed record who'd have been born after 1915 and where a death hadn't been identified by 1991)

Rootgatherer - apart from Dorset Road as posted above, the otherone was
14 Lansdowne Gardens, Lambeth.
Edward Wallis c1872 lived there from 1945-1949 when he died.

Nicki is trying to find out where he was in 1939. The Dorset Road was a previous 1935 address given on his wife's DC.

i was just going to look at 27 Dorset Road and 14 Lansdown Gardens, but Detective has let me know how to do it and Edward Wallis is not at either of those addresses in 1939 x

He's not at Dorset Road. I can't even find no 14 Lansdowne Road. They seem to be Odd numbers only.
If you have access as part of a full FMP sub, you could go through each image to see if you can find it. There are 17 images listed.

I found the above by putting in Edward, no surname, born 1872 exact, Marital status widowed, and restricted the search to Lambeth.
