Will tenant checks show previous linked addresses

Hi just a quick question. I am currently looking a house to rent. However, I don not want the estate agent to know my previous address. I never signed the electoral roll so it is not showing that way. However, it is showing up on the linked addresses. There are several linked addresses but my previous address only comes up once. Will they be bale to see this or is there a chance they won't see it? I would be very grateful for any help on this, thanks :-)

credit searches will show address history.. any particular reason that you want to keep this hidden?

some will do a credit check, and ask for a few references, one being the last landlord.

I rented out but left before the contract was over. When I phoned the estate agent to say I was giving my months notice she told me I was liable for rent for another 4 months. However, I had already moved to Somerset at this point and honestly thought I could give one months notice. In the end, I accepted they could keep the £1000 deposit and I paid a months rent. I am just worried she will now give me a bad reference as it ook a while to reach an agreement in which I pointed out she had not been a very good estate agent :-s
