Wishing you every happiness baking cakes in your new Aga. Can we have a cup of tea please?
When a revised history is written for this house the new residents will feature loud!
If the house being researched was built prior to 1911 we will try and find details of who lived there and include some of them on the house history. This gives an interesting insight into the house in years gone by and the sort of numbers of people who lived there (which can be surprising) and their jobs.
Sometimes, especially if the house is in a village, the enumerator did not note down the number or name of the house. Instead just the road name is give, or in some cases, just the name of the village. If this is the case, we will still give an overview of the sort of people living around and about which gives a flavour to the nature of the area.
For those houses built after 1911, we will carry out similar research and look to the nearest inhabited roads to find out details of neighbours.
If this is a gift you can also order a special gift card with your own personal message inside! The card is A6 folded size
