Default Tracing somebody: Help

Hello

I am trying to trace someone, I did ask this question once before but I now have much more information and I am hoping someone can guide me.

I have a full name, place of birth, an address and occupation as of 1969. Unfortunately at this time the person (girl) wasn't married otherwise it would be easier.

I have tried directory enquiries (bt.com) on the surname in the area and rang the 15 or so numbers asking if anyone had a relation called that to no avail.

This is quite important so, short of hiring a private investigator which is extremely expensive, any suggestions?

Thank you for your help.

Steve.

You could try friends re-united (www.friendsreunited.com) if you know what school she went to - long shot but it might just work !

Try registering with 192.com - they can do searches of Local Electoral registers I believe.

I have a copy of UKINFO Disc 2003 which searches the electoral registers, more than happy to do some looking if required

Hello

Thank you for your help. Would the electoral register help? As the last known name was a maiden one in 1969?

If so, DJ I would like to take you up on your kind offer. Can you MSN me (boxst@yahoo.com) at your convenience.

Thanks!

Steve.

Not sure that with that limited amount of info a current electoral role would help. I dont know if this is still the case but as far as i remember you used to be able to go into a library and search through previous electoral registers for past years on one of those funny machines of which the name escapes me.

In theory if you could locate this person on the register in 1969 it should have an address next to it, it may then be possible to look at that address for all future years to see if the name changes, and you will potentially have the married name.

Of course a lot of this relies on theory but its worth a shot!

Thanks, I have sent an e-mail. Although I expect she will think I'm a stalker or something!

I tried it once but kept putting my pencil through the paper because they wouldn't keep still.
