Historical Home Research Specialist
Professional property and house history research uncovering the documented story of your home.
Understanding the history of a property requires careful examination of land records, valuation material, census returns, maps and archival collections. Whether your home is a rural cottage, urban terrace or listed building, research must be grounded in documentary evidence rather than anecdote.
I approach each historical home project with the same evidential standards applied to family history research, ensuring that ownership and occupancy are supported by clear documentary trails.
If you would like to explore the history of your home, I would be very pleased to hear from you.
What the Historical Home Discovery Package Includes
The Historical Home Discovery package provides a structured investigation into the ownership and occupancy history of your property.
Research may include:
• Title deeds and land records
• Census returns
• Valuation records
• Historic maps
• Probate records (where relevant)
• Archival material relating to former occupants
Visual Presentation
You will receive a professionally designed digital poster in a newspaper-style layout summarising the key findings of your home’s documented history. Copies of relevant historical records or images discovered during the research process can also be included.
Historical Home Discovery – £225
This package is suitable for homeowners seeking a carefully documented overview of their property’s past. If more extensive archival work is required, additional bespoke research time can be arranged.
Research Beyond Scotland
While I specialise in Scottish and North East genealogy research, I also undertake family history projects elsewhere in England, Wales, the United States and Canada where appropriate.
Client Feedback
Professional genealogy research is built on trust, clarity and documentary accuracy.
“Amy pursued every possible avenue in attempting to establish a connection within my Scottish ancestry. Although some historical records were incomplete and no definitive link could be confirmed, her persistence and attention to detail were exceptional. I would not hesitate to commission further research.”
— Leighanne McKinlay-Wilkins
“Amy provided a fascinating and deeply researched insight into our family history. Several ancestral lines had reached a dead end, yet she uncovered key information and additional context from multiple reliable sources. The final report was comprehensive, clearly structured and accompanied by a detailed family tree. We look forward to undertaking further research.”
