Phone Directory?
« on: Saturday 16 July 11 05:20 BST (UK) »
I am trying to track a relative who's last known address in 1976 was Hull. Is there a way of looking at phone directoreies, even if recent in Hull at all?
Thanks for your time

Hull used to be unique in that it had its own phone system.  Not sure if it still does.
www.bt.com is the current phone directory

My local library has a full set of telephone directories for the UK.   I suggest you ask your Library to show you their set of phone directories.

Thankyou Andrea :) I have found searching the telephone system over there a bit confusing by the results I have been getting when googling! Too many search sites that aren't legit ;)

thanks for taking the time to reply :) I am in Australia so we dont have all the UK phone books over here unfortunately :( It would be a lot easier if we did!

Heres the link for our local phone company, maybe worth emailing them I can't find the online directory!
