If you are researching in an urban area, are you aware if the house numbers were changed at any point during your research time period? Are the contemporary numbers different from what they were during the time your ancestor lived there? Location matters. And if you don’t have the answers to these questions, start with the reference section of the town/city library and go from there.
If certain details of your ancestor’s wife change, but the first name remains unchanged, have you considered that he had two wives with the same first name?
