Thanks for that, Roobarb.
I did visit the archives last year, when I was looking for maps of Normanby. They were most helpful.
Time I went to see them again, I think.

Normanby is close to the south bank of the Tees.
I am close to the north bank, now.

Are we talking about visiting the National Archives in person, snowball?
I am at the other end of the country.

Is it just because I am tired. Or am I thicker than thick.
Are you meaning that you can normally see what that means, but can't this time?

After 14 years I've still not fully grasped the system. Perhaps I'm either thick, or am seeing things that are not really problems with the system.
Oh my . . . what chance have I got, then.

I have been to the  National Archives link.
The page had - Catalogue reference, and Region.
So, I clicked on Yorkshire Region.
And, the page which came up, said . . . Title    
Board of Inland Revenue: Valuation Office: Finance Act 1910, Record Sheet Plans: Yorkshire Region: York District
Covering dates    c.1840-1920
Availability    Open
Held by    
The National Archives, Kew

@ redroger  ;)

Maidmarion - that just seems to be for the West Riding, I am afraid.

I never realised how interesting this was going to be.
Thank you all so much for taking the trouble to help me.

Mushroom Cottage stood alone in a field.
At that time, my grandfather owned 10 cottages on the main road in Normanby.
A council house estate was built where the cottage had stood.
I have an 1896 OS map, which shows Mushroom Cottage standing alone.
The council house which the family moved into, was only several hundred yards away from where the cottage had been.

Never heard of Rate books, before.

The property was a cottage at Normanby, North Yorkshire (now Cleveland).
My maternal grandparents lived there - on the 1911 census.

I was born at the house which my grandfather had built.
But, between the cottage and the house, I have been informed that the family lived in a council house.
I am interested in finding out why.
All I can think of, is that the cottage was to be demolished, and they had to live somewhere until the house was built.

Thank you all for your help.

Oh my goodness, snowball. Just looked at your link. Completely double dutch to me, I am afraid.

I am wanting to find out who owned a particular house in 1911.
Can anyone please tell me how I go about doing this?
Thank you.
