My late fathers great great great grandfather owned a lot of land. When checked with the land registry in jul 1998 it was not registered. Would the family be entitled to claim this land? If so, where do we start? I have gone into this totally blind and haven't a clue where to start, so any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
It should have passed through his estate and the estate of anyone who owned it afterwards. If there were wills then may be possible to trace the ownership that way.
