Start with 1881 census, which is free and can be searched by address. Other censuses can be searched by address on findmypast, but it's pay-to-view.........about 30p per image, which is very little......... 1901 can be searched on the PRO site....75p per image. Reg |

Can anyone tell me what database I would look at to see who has lived in a property in previous years? I'm talking about a property that is 15th century, so anyone between the time it was built and present day. At one time it was in my family, and would love to know who lived there previously if anyone can help with suggestions on where to look? Many thanks! |

Post 1901 you can use the electoral rolls. They would list all people of voting age in the property but the 1914-1918 and 1939-1944/5 periods aren't covered. Access them at the reference library for the area, if you live a way away then you could ask the library to search for you and send the details for a modest charge. |

You'll be able to get some info off the 1836 tithe maps. Locate the property on the relevant parish map and note the reference number. Then look in the tithe apportionments to find out who owned the property and who lived in it. I've done that with a property built in the early 1800s and it is fascinating. Link your findings with the 1841 census. Janice |
