Land ownership
« on: Wednesday 27 May 09 17:20 UTC (UK) »
Hi
Can any one help me? I'm looking for the land deeds for somewhere called Meadow View, on The Street in Costessey, Norwich. My great great grandfather, David Stanley Jones (could have gone by Stanley) owned it probably sometime after 1931 but am not sure, i'm just looking for proof
Thanks for any help

Is the house still there?  It's possible the current owners have the deeds.

The latest record I can find in a directory is according to Kelly's, in 1929 Meadow View was occupied by Norman L Hollis.

Hi,
We aren't sure if it's still there, my father and i have searched but unless its been re named or very well hidden, we dont think so.
There was also a mention of a Berk Barn, possibly on the same land. All we know is, David Stanley Jones owned it, his grandaughter was born there in 1939. There were rumours that he sold it and bought a house either in west end, costessey, norwich or a cottage in Taverham, Norwich.
His life is really a mystery
