There are a couple of places you need to check out to get more information about the history of your house. Perhaps you are wanting to know who lived in the property when it was first built, and since; maybe you need to check the deeds of your house or you might want to know if there has ever been any hauntings in your home!

The government are pretty useful when it comes to keeping records, although remember that not all homes have information which dates back years and years - especially if yours is older than a century or so. Census information will tell you about people - who they were, if they got married, how many children they had etc. The land registry is good for getting specific structural information and also for discovering who owned the property before you. You can also check the local records (many are kept in libraries and council offices) to get more details.

Start with the Census as it will certainly reveal some facts upon which you can extend your search. You may have to pay for some census information from certain years but if you're desperate to get your house history its well worth it!

If you want to find out if anyone died in your house, you can easily find out by checking local records. These are accessible through the council usually, so I would firstly call them and make an enquiry.

I cannot find out on your behalf the history of your own house, but I can try to point you in the right direction!

Many Thanks - The BlurtIt! Editor

Researching the history of your house - how old is your home?

Visit your local Records and Archives Offices. The staff there will be able to help you and suggest records that you can consult.
Apart from census returns which are only helpful for the period between 1841 and 1901 you can look at electoral rolls and voters lists.

For older houses you can look for wills, sale details. The Georgian period ends by the reign of Queen Victoria, therfore census returns will not provide information for that time.

I do suggest a visit to your Archives and Records Offices
