If it was built by 1911, you can search by address on FMP (possibly other sites by using the address as a 'key word' ) to see who lived there. You might possibly be able to do that in earlier census.

One thing you do need to be prepared for is the changing to house numbering over the years. If you can get to the nearest library or archive, they might be able to help and also have some trade directories searchable by address for in-between years.

With help from others on the boards and a visit to the library, I did something similar last month. It did help that the house had a distinctive name as well as a number

Have you got the deeds?

Done any research at your local library to see if the house has been renumbered or the street renamed over the years?

Researching:
PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England.

Could anyone help me find the history of my family home in London. I am trying to find out who lived there previously and general facts. Thanks.
