    Blast out and spend £3.00 at

    to find out who owns it.

    You can only buy downloads of plans and registers between 7am and 12 midnight, Monday to Saturday, though. Perhaps, for a start, only buy a copy of the registered title.

    Next, I'd check on Births and Deaths. Then Wills, and this might lead you on to who was the Executor.
