I bought my house and it was built circa 1900 i would love to know the history of who lived in it going back then, more at the beginning rather than recent years, i think it would be interesting. Any ideas?

Try the census and your local record office, both would be very helpful. Although there are a few things you can guarantee; if your house is a terrace house and there used to be a factory or farm in the vicinity-it was probably built for the workers to live in.
If your house is a semi, but looks as though it used to be one house you are more than likely living in a villa, if you were to e-mail me a photo of the house and the area in which you live, I would more than likely be able to help you further.

Previous electoral rolls are definitely the way to go, your local authority will have these.
Deeds and Land Registry aren't so useful now - if you've bought your house in the last couple of years the chances are your deeds will have been destroyed anyway.

Get a copy of the deeds. Mine tells of how the builder bought a field from a farmer giving names and dates.

You can have an attorney do a title search. You can also check your town hall's land records.
