Who lived in my house

[isitdust]

Hello

I live in a house called Brook House but it may not have always been known by that name
Current address is Lowes Hill Ripley derbys
It is located next to a hamlet of Hammersmith derbyshire and yes it's built over the brook


We are trying to find out when the house was built approx but it's proving difficult
I just wondered if someone who has access to the census records from 1851 through 1891 could locate the house in the records for us please

Many thankyous in anticipation

I'd have thought that looking at historical maps  would give a pretty good idea of vintage and any name changes.

As far as I can see no individual house are listed in the 1871, 1881 or 1891 census, they are just all dittoed under Lowes Hill.

Do you have the deeds of your house, it would be shown on there?

Your local library might be the best place to start.

Is there a local history society, as I have found these to be very knowledgeable on such matters?

Hello
Good replies and thankyou
Done the historical maps and there are none available that will show the house before 1872
Got the deeds nothing in them to say when house built
Looks like a listing from the censuses will show when compared roughly when the house was builtNeed to know how and what to look for in census from 1841 to 1881 that's shows Lowes hill

Regards

Hi

Local history group none existent BUT will look harder for one
Even if you search for Hammersmith Ripley Derbyshire on the Internet the returns are few

Prior votes for women  is possible to trace a property owner in a house if the property owner was
a. A man
b. An eligible voter

An anomaly occurred with my ancestors in 1900 in Annfield Plain, County Durham.
My Great Great Grandfather built the house but he died in 1900. His wife received the property but she was not on the Electoral Rolls because she was a woman.
Her son living in the house was not on the Electoral Rolls because he paid no rent.
However her nephew rented a bedsitting room within the house and he was included on the Electoral Rolls. The only listing for that property.

Have you got any idea of the age of the house as looking on Google Street view quite a few houses look relatively modern?

In 1891 Lowes Hill seems to start here 

RG12
Piece number   2745
Folio   51

But no houses are named or numbered.

1881 starts here

RG11
Piece number   3414
Folio   10
Page   11

Again no names or numbers

Hello,
Have you tried this https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/. You can search with your postcode and then look at various historical maps. You would be able to identify where your house is rather than me- what I am seeing is that there is a building in 1937 which is not there in 1917. However, you are implying that your house is much older so I think it is probably the wrong building.
Best wishes
