oh so do I.

Found another rellie, too. 

Although searching for relatively common names, when not being able to add middle initial, and not sure of location.....and then trying to match addresses with known spouses (fingers crossed not divorced in the meantime).....when addresses don't seem to be in any alphabetical order.......

grateful, but boggle eyed

Alyson - What years does the electoral roll cover?  Can it be used to find people in the 1940s/50s for instance?

Ooooh! ....... not sure about that Lizzie.
.........Been to have a look and it ranges from 1987 - 2010
Ohhh! sorry about that. I'm not sure where you find registers for your dates.

Thanks Alyson, it was only an idea I had.

Hi,

I'm not sure if anyone's still interested. But I found this thread so maybe someone else is looking for the answer as well.

If you want something completely free - try www.bt.com ~ http://www.btexchanges.com/eg-smith/eg-bradford-or-bd1.search?type=residential

You search by surname and area. You can find where the person is living on 192, and then put their surname and place into bt and it comes up with phone number and address.

Not everyone's on though, however, I have found dozens of cousins and other relations so far.

Good luck!

Thanks for the tip, but I think the one I'm looking for has "Gone to ground"

[IgorStrav]

Thanks, C V-S, that looks a good option, and I'll give it a try.

I had a spate of looking for living relatives, wrote to a few with a polite letter, enclosing sae, with no response whatsoever, so that discouraged me.

However, shouldn't be discouraged, I'd be really pleased to get a reply from just one!

Don't forget that, for quite a few years now, we have had the option to opt of of the electoral register as far as databases such as 192.com are concerned. We can vote but our data is not sold on to sales & marketing companies who may want to send offers because I've been specially selected to receive them.

I'm not listed at 192.com but I have the vote.

I'm also ex-directory so you won't find me in the phone book.
