I'm very keen to know the occupants of a dwelling which is still inhabited, but the tenant doesn't have any knowledge more than the a single generation ago.

The house in question was where my Mother was born and her family lived in it at that time - 1929.

How would I go about finding out more about this house and who, possibly, the original inhabitants were ?

Thanks for any help provided !

Depending on the house in question, if it was a croft house then the commission should hold info on all the occupants,
What type of house is it?

The Caithness Archive Centre has copies of Valuation Roll's and Censuses which should be able to help you.
