Does it matter that Natick is a town?
Only for knowing where to look. The town keeps some local records; deeds go to the county or district registry of deeds; court records are at the county. Investigators plan searches around that structure.

Most records that matter in Middlesex County are kept at the county level: court files with the clerk, and deeds with the county or district registry of deeds. A good detective searches those originals rather than relying on online summaries, and confirms identity so records aren't attributed to the wrong person.
