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

PM me her name,age, last known address and anything else you know, and I'll see what I can find.

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?

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.

Hi Dawnsh,
Thanks for your reply,
No I have not written a letter, how can i have not got a number for the Lane where my second cousin lives, I feel the same feelings has you say but would still like to have someone call on the houses as i have information for her. Not good these days to do that really,

How about trying BT phone book??

This must be very frustrating for you!
What about trying to send a trial letter to the name and street address that you have - obviously without a number, as you don't have that. Even a question mark instead of a number. I have often had letters sent to me from overseas without a street number on, and Postal services has added the number. Don't know if your UK postal service do pets that, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Remember though, to put your own sender address! ;D
Good luck with your hunt! Hope you get a result soon!

I have cut out the posts where you mention names and /or addresses of living people, or people who may still be living.

Hi Berlin bob, & Everyone,
Thanks for your help, Patients, i will do what you suggest no more names I will put up. will try writing letter to address with Name and question mark I have done it before to and have sometimes got an answer. that was my last resort anyway.
A big thank you, However did find some names but have to pay and will try without paying by sending a letter.
regards fishy

Best of luck with it Fishy! Let us know how it goes!

Her surname was recorded as starting with M not B
she was at 106
The post code is SK14 5LF
Sorry for being cryptic, trying not to break the 'no living people' policy.
