We, or rather my wife, has an ongoing "issue" with one of the rooms in our house.

Is it possible to discover who previously lived in our house?

So you heard moaning, groaning and thumping from a room when you got back from work early and your wife convinced you it must be a ghost?

The previous residence of a house would be the same place - unless someone moved the house..

Census, electoral rolls, local library.

I have a subscription with Ancestry.co.uk, and may be able to help with the census.

If the house has been sold, you must know you have no come back over previous residents, assuming all correct procedures were followed.

What ever the ongoing "issue" is. I read it as dispute or something to be settled.

The house is an ex-MOD house built in the 60s I think. Some MOD houses are tarted up and flogged in bulk so we never met who lived here before us. We've been here for about 9 years.

The issue is kind of personal.

Oh come on Edd! This is the most interesting thread I've read for ages!

What has she found in the room

1) A ghost?

2) Someone's dirty underpants?

3) Some birds old red rag?

4) A **** collection of chicks with d1cks (that you insist isn't yours)?

Do tell

I doubt that'd hold much water, unless they were the Ghostbusters.
