is this the correct place i can ask someone to do me a look-up

Hi  wondered if someone please who lives in the tameside area could go to the Lane where my second cousin lived and still may be living there.  I cannot as I live in Australia. We lost contact in 2010

Well, it's one place.  :P
But you'd probably be better off asking a moderator to move this to whatever county Tameside is in.
Do you mean Tameside in Greater Manchester?

Did you want someone to knock on the door to see if your cousin still lives there?

Have you checked the electoral rolls to see if she is still registered at that address?

If it is just the address you are interested in, you can view it on google street view.

Hi Ruskie,
Thanks for reply,
Yes i would like someone .
I do not think you can look at Electroll  rolls anymore, unless Tameside  you can. 
yes I have googled street view and saw the houses there it is a long Lane where she could be living.
Only have names.
Fishy May have to try a moderator

She, or other family may have Facebook. :)

Have you tried googling her name?

Hi fishy

Have you written a letter?

Is your request in relation to this request?

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=773215.0

I know how I would feel is someone just turned up on my doorstep and started asking questions.  :o

Not really the 'done thing'.

The person could be ill, on the phone, in the middle of an argument or recently bereaved.

According to electoral rolls she is still at the same address.   Think you will have to resort to old fashioned 'snail mail' in this instance.

Hi Annette 7,
from Suffolk uk

Thanks for the look up and your reply. appreciate it, Have thought of snail mail, but have no number  only that it is Joel lane Hyde. You say you seen that she is still living there on the  Electroll Roll would you know what the number of the house is then, so I can snail mail her. When she emailed me from  roots chat in 2010 she gave me address but forgot to put number on. changed email address lost contact.
