Well, as it turns out, I'm going on vacation to England mid June, and thought of spending a few days in the area where my paternal lineage is from. Incredibly, I found a Air BandB right in the center of my search area, Kilham, UK.
Here is my question to you: What are the possibilities of finding out what parcel of land my Great-Great-Great-Grandpa came from, and more importantly, how to go about it?
The only definite document i have, other than those that I have dug up via research at Ancestry.ca) is his prorate that I purchased.

It's content matches up with the correct names of his son's and daughters, as well as his son-in-law which married Mary Pinder, Stephen Bennison. The problem is of course, it details much of what is being willed to whom, but not where this property is.
Herein is what I know about John Pinder.
May have been born & Baptized on the 29th July in Snaith, Yorkshire .
Documents have him as John Pindar).
Married 11 Dec. in Kilham to Jane Beilby (1725-1804)
Had three sons & 3 daughters;
John (1749-1843) Named in will as an executor. Also named as the eldest son in the Will
William (1752-1826) Named in will as an executor
Robert (1758-1830)
Mary (1760-1844) Married Stephen Bennison named in Will)
Jane (1761-1796)
Ann (1765-1766)
This is what I know, or have been able to research so far.
Is there any way I could figure out exactly where in Kilham their farm might have been?
I understand that Kilham was a parish, am I correct ? It might not necessarily referring to the village, but I would expect it to be in the immediate area, no?
Anyways, would love any assistance in this matter!
Thanks in advance,
Stephen Pinder
