Same here, we tried to figure out how old our house was once and the furthest back we got was 1850. The house existed before that for sure but that's the oldest bit of paperwork we could dig up for it.
Have you checked with the church? Oftentimes their books are more complete compared to other sources before 1800 something…
Oh yeah that's a good idea! I want to check with a nearby estate too because it used to be part of that, 1850 was just when it separated and became an independent property.
