I am trying to find details of the sale of a family property in about 1928/9. I have been on the Land \registry website but it doesnt seem to go back that far. Can anyone tellme how l can find out who the property was sold to? |

Whilst the Land Registry as we know it today came into being in 1925, it wasn't until well after the second world war that compulsory registration was phased in, starting with the larger cities. |

Sorry so long getting back to this, broadband problems! Thanks for the info Hawkwind, l know who occupied the house as l have checked the \electoral Registers. Mt Gt Grandfather owned this house originally from the 1860s and it eventually passed down to my grandfather,my family had lived in Manchester since the 1870s and the property was rented out, when my grandfather died in 1928 my grandmother put everything in the hands of a solicitor who seems to have somehow got possession of the property for himself, my father was only a teenager but always said they were swindelled by this solicitor, a Mr Isaacs. I am just interested to find out how the house passed out of the grandmothers hands but it looks as if we will never know! |
