Thanks Groom, I'll give that a try. I don't want to tempt providence by giving the address just yet - we may not get the house!

I'm interested in all dates from now back to when the house was built. I don't know exactly when the house was built, but I do know it is Grade 2 listed by English Heritage and described as a "17th Century" house. My wife and I are hoping to buy the house and would love to know something about its history...

I've always searched my ancestors by name and location before, but now I want to search who inhabited a particular house. I know the address - is there any way I can enter this somewhere to check on inhabitants at that address?

"Master" was also used as a prefix for "Hatters", I have an ancester with that occupation in the mid 19C. Interestingly his son became a "Bootmaker"...

When you scan, there should be dotted lines displayed that you can click onto and drag to identify the area that you wish to scan...
