Is there any way of finding out about property ownership, wills and inheritances etc back in early 1900's England? |

Look at the Electoral Registers in the local Records office, this would give you details as to whether they own or rent. |

Wills would be a good place to start. You need a death date - and you apply to the Probate Registry (at York I think but someone will correct me if I'm wrong). |

If its a rural property, you might be able to find it on a Tithe map (which I think might be found at the local records office). I found 2 of mine in a booklet from a local History Society. They had reproduced a Tithe map from the 1830s, which showed all the houses in a small hamlet along with the fields and farms. The ownership of the houses was shown as well as the names of the people renting them - including my ggg.grandparents and my gggg. grandparents! |
