Hi, how do I go about finding out about the history of a property/people who used to live there etc?

My daughter has just moved into an old interesting property, which has now been converted into student flats and I would love to know about anything about the house, then I can share it with all the girls now living there.

The address is

46. Hyde Terrace, Leeds LS2 9LM

Regards

Debi

I would suggest you amend your posting to delete any reference to young people currently living in the property from a security point of view.

Thanks, I just tried that and it keeps saying an error has occurred every time I try to search, will try again later.

Thanks patchem, so it was a student house then too! Have you any info on earlier and how did you find out?

'Find my past' for 1911 census lets you search by street name.
I do not have 'find my past' for previous censuses, just ancestry.
I have sometimes slowly worked my way through a census trying to follow a street, but they can double back on themselves for their numbering system.
As I said, lots of houses get renumbered, so it could quite easily be a different house.
Just thought I would post up what I found to show you that we were thinking about your query.

There is this for 1901

You just need someone with the correct subscription?

Thanks again patchem. I emailed the 1911 info to my daughter.

Hyde Terrace in 1891 should be here, but going to bed:
Hyde Terrace RG 12/3707 47-50

I only have Genes and haven't a clue how to access addresses from there. Also. don't have a clue as what to do with the info above.

Much thanks

Ancestry lets you search 1881 by address. Also the 1881 transcriptions are free (but not the images). I searched for street addy=46 hyde, civil parish=leeds and got no hits. I then changed to addy=hyde and got 142 hits (including some unoccupied houses and houses abuilding). Once I've gotten a name, like Sarah Lucy Davison at # 20, I can look her up at:
http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=census/search_census.asp
and see her household transcription, and use the next/previous links at top right to go along the street. Seems like the house got built in the 1880s.

Thank you sooo much! My daughter and her room mates have enjoyed the info.
