Historical Property Information

Hello,<br> <br> My mother incorrectly spelt her name (I know, ridiculous!) on my Birth Certificate, and because of this - I need evidence of what her name was on the date of my birth. She had a joint mortgage in her name at the time.<br> <br> Are there any land registry services she can apply for to collect this information I could then use as evidence for a name change on my birth certificate? I found '<span style="font-family:Arial , Helvetica , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">Apply for historical editions of the register or title plan held in electronic form</span></span>' which requires the filling out of a 'HC1' form.<br> <br> Am I correct in thinking my mother could apply for this information, selecting the exact date of my birth - and the land registry could prove her name on that date?<br> <br> Kind Regards,<br> <br> Mike

Hello Mike - you'd need to connect any registered information with proving that it was matched with your Mother. The edition date won;t be precise re the actual date you need for example as the edition dates can be very wide apart and aren't specific to the date you may want.<br> What's the address/title number involved and how far back are we hoping to reference?

<p>This would be in 1988, so quite some time ago. I understand these things are probably not very precise to the day as it will depend on the 'edition' however, do the 'editions' cover a date range, or were they conducted quite regularly?</p> <p>Apologies, I'm not too knowledgable on registry office processes :( When you mean address/title number do you mean address of the property in question?</p>

Mike - register editions won't date back that far as paper/hard copy in those days. I mean postal address of the property but you may have the title number also

Thanks Adam. I spoke to your team on the phone and unfortunately they can't help. But I'm thinking perhaps if you have mortgage information on another property, I might know which mortgage provider to send an SAR to get the information I require. Do you have any mortgage provider information at 9 Magpie Close, Basingstoke, RG22 5QG between 1990-Sept 1997?

Mike - there are two mortgages referred to within that date range 3rd July 1997 and 29th Oct 1997 will give you the details re title&#160;HP79041<br> The old card registers were converted into an e-format from the mid 90s onwards hence the 1997 year for the first edition mentioned. A remortgage happened later in 1997 as well so a new edition was created<br> Form HC1 plus £7 fee for each edition which I suspect you are already aware of through your other contacts
