Finding a living person in Sussex?
« on: Tuesday 25 October 05 12:22 BST (UK) »

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can help me locate a relative that the family have lost touch with.
I asked in the general forum if anyone could do a search on the 192 site and someone found my relative in the 2003 electoral role for West Sussex, i have looked for her on the BT website but can't find her (it is possible that she isn't registered with BT) is there anyother way that i can find out if she is still alive? Does anyone have a current phone/address directory for West Sussex that they can look for her in if i pm her last name and initial?

Amy if you are in the UK you can find all current telephone directories in your local Library - ours has them for the entire UK in the reference section.

I hadn't thought of doing that, perhaps if i have no luck from the library and get no reply from the address in 2003 we have for her then i will give that a go.

Thankyou for the tip, i had already looked there and sent a few messages to some people with the same surname but nobody is a relative and her name isn't listed there.

I live in West Sussex and could look for you but all phone numbers are on www.bt.com if you have a town or postcode to search so they may be ex directory.  A current electoral roll?

I don't live in the UK, so have become dependent on finding alternate sources.  The following have sometimes been helpful:

http://www.192.com/
http://www.tracesmart.co.uk/?page=peoplesearch  (I think you have to pay for this one)
