Thankyou for the reply but i did manage to contact her and was in touch via letters for a few years as this message was started in 05. I haven't heard from her in about a year, even though i have still sent an Easter card and a Birthday card, she would be 95 now how do i find out if she is o.k?

Hi Amy

Why don't you just send a letter addressed to "The current occupier" at her address, enclosing a stamped addressed envelope? You can explain you are trying to find out if your relative is alright. Hopefully she will reply herself, or if the house has changed hands the occupiers might know what has happened to her. If you have just sent cards, unless you put your address on the back of the envelope they couldn't be returned to you.

or you could post her village here if someone is local they could pop a note through the door for you.  Its worth trying to stay in touch in case something has happened if no relatives are known you could contact the local council offices and give them your details as an incase of emergency

This thread is nearly 7 years old, I wonder if the poster had any luck "refinding" her relative 2 years ago?

Good evening,

A surefire way to find out if someone is still alive is to check the death register.  ::) ::) ::)
