History of a House
« on: Thursday 03 September 20 14:29 BST (UK) »
In the latter part of the 18th Century an ancestor of mine lived in a house just off Oxford Street The address was 19 Bryanston Street, Portman Square. I want to discover the history of the house and who lived there over the years. I suppose I should approcah HM Land Registry but if so I'm not sure what I should be askiing for. Can anyone help me please?

I would just ask them what information would be available for the property and what it would cost for those records.

The property was possibly rented out, presumably you have located the property on all of the census.

The census records would seem to be a good place to start.
Threlfall (Southport), Isherwood (lancs & Canada), Newbould + Topliss(Derby), Keating & Cummins (Ireland + lancs), Fisher, Strong& Casson (all Cumberland) & Downie & Bowie, Linlithgow area Scotland . Also interested in Leigh& Burrows,(Lancashire) Griffiths (Shropshire & lancs), Leaver (Lancs/Yorks) & Anderson(Cumberland and very elusive)
