An alternative to this, is to place your cursor somewhere on the web page showing your search results - then do Ctrl + "A" followed by Ctrl + "C". This will select and copy the whole web page, including any results that you would need to scroll down to see. You can then paste (Ctrl + "V") your copied text into your favourite word processor (Open Office is a good free option).
In Open Office you can then copy the data from the table into a spreadsheet for further manipulation (I haven't tried this in Microsoft Office).

This can be useful if the limitations of the addresses recorded in the census mean you (like me) are looking at some of the 81 Meeks who lived in The Morse, Drybrook or the 84 who lived on Ruardean Hill.
