I stopped over with my niece who lives in Hambrook, Bristol at the weekend. She is in a very quaint cottage joined to another that was a bakers in years gone by. The cottage is believed to be around 300 years old. I have done a fair bit of family history research but I have never looked at trying to trace the history of a house. I am now aware that the 'Gloucester Archives' who have a web page looks a good place to start digging. I would be much obliged if anyone can point me in the right direction.
Also, I would be very interested in trying to find census records on the property. I don't have a name of any previous occupiers for traditional census search.... can I search census records via Ancestry using the just name of the cottage that is on Bristol Road, Hambrook? Or manually search the records for Bristol Road? .... I tried looking for code references for the area but got confused... not difficult. No access to the deeds to the house either. Thanks in advance
