    Last year I needed the address of the previous occupants of my house and the relatives of a previous neighbour who had died. I didn't have the address, but did know the two separate counties where they lived.
    I contacted the main Library in Liverpool by phone, gave them the names and counties, they took my phone number and details. Within half an hour I received a return phone call with both of the peoples' details. I was then able to write to them and received the information that I needed.
    So it is always worth a try to contact your local Main Library.

    Precisely !!!!!!

    What you need is UK Infodisc which costs a fortune and is used for marketing etc. ....you need someone who has access to that as part of their job.

    Electoral details may still not be right up to date, and this also applies to the library and town hall copies too...the latter will have extra recent additions as an extra booklet. I'd reverse search it for you, but my UKInfo is waaay out of date now and all but useless.

    Personally i'd pay a small fee for the reverse search and save the hassle.

    The library version is the Edited version. I am not sure about the Council version.

    The edited version is held by libraries, but the full version is held by the Council.

    Try https://www.pipl.com
    it defaults to US so you will need to change the location but this is the best search tool I have found. Also facebook is a good way to find people!!!

    Can someone tell me if on 192.com you see the year as eg 2002 beside a name does this mean there aren't any further up to date details of them, have they ticked the box so no further details about their whereabouts can be displayed or do they still reside there? Many thanks..

    So, everyone - there is no such thing as free electoral roll. End of!! Get it out of your mind and accept that the likes of 192 (or my organisation uk-peoplefinder.co.uk) have all invested shed loads to help people out there.

    That is now off my chest!!!

    I have just looked at the website but they are asking £49.99 + VAT which makes it more expensive than 192.com. For the extra £20 what extra's do they offer that 192.com don't, please?
  • I was recently searching for my father and I came across 3702, I quickly found him and all for free so i'd recommend this definitely.
