How can l find out the previous owners of an 1850s cottage?

[Tilly2]

Title Deeds?

[smurfchops]

Would the Deeds have all the owners?

[Tilly2]

 Title deeds are paper documents showing the chain of ownership for land and property

How do you get sight of the title deeds?

[ladybirder]

HM Land Registry.

[Tilly2]

We got ours when we bought the house.

[Tilly2]

LB, are you better now?

Excuse me, smurf.

[barry1010]

You have to apply for a historic title register (standard title register usually only details current owners)

My COPD is following its course Tilly but I had a nurse visit this week and she was satisfied with my condition.

My smashed nose looks far less smashed now thank you.  The big scab that had formed has fallen off and not left much of a mark.

Very sweet of you to ask.

Apologies Smurf.

21.51..Ladybirder ....How on earth did you get a smashed nose ??? .

[ladybirder]

On Sunday evening 3rd November I tripped over the edge of my carpet gulliver and smashed my face on the wooden floor.  Nose took the worst of it but my specs were fine.  Also hurt my right knee and left hip, don't ask as I don't understand how that happened either.  Nurse said it won't be my last one!  Cheered me up no end.

Have a look at the various census returns; they'll tell you who was living there in the April (-ish) of 1851/61/71/81/91 and 1901/11/21.
