* 1939 Register - finding an enumeration district

[davidm_uk]

I'm trying to find out who was living in a particular road in the 1939 register - Anstee Road, Luton, Bedfordshire. In LutonMB there are about 115 enumeration districts, but the header page image for each ED doesn't list the roads that it covers (unlike the census returns). The Luton EDs run from DPLA to DPPJ, with DPKF added for some reason.

I've tried searching the 1939 Register on Ancestry, with the road name in the keyword box, but that doesn't find Anstee Road, although if I try some other roads it does find those, so maybe not all of them have been indexed. I've tried googling but can't find anything, maps or other document to see where the enumeration districts cover. Is there likely to be an index or map anywhere?

I have done an address search on Find My Past, shows E.D. Letter Code as DPOJ Reg district 178-2. Any help? I searched for Anstee in Luton MB only.

Davidm-uk,
When searching for things like an address, less is sometimes better. I’ve had experience in the past when search engine ignored Street because enumerator used the shortend form St or Str. Did you try Anstee on its own?
Worth considering for the future

David2416,
Excellent, thank you for that. FMP must have done a better job of indexing, Ancestry definitely didn't find it. Just as well I didn't start manually searching from the top of the ED list, DPOJ is well down the list!

Mike,
Yes I did try Anstee on it's own, and tinkered with wildcards, no luck.
