Is there an HR department at your old employers? I just give that ("Name: HR") for references where I no longer have a personal contact. They should confirm dates of employment and that you didn't have a disciplinary whilst there."Every single person has at least one secret that would break your heart. If we could just remember this, I think there would be a lot more compassion and tolerance in the world."— Frank Warren0

Do they not just want a checkable work history, rather than a name of a referee? So if you put where you worked they could contact the HR dept.
Where I work - we have to have a full checkable employment/unemployment/education history - but the address of where you worked is fine as we can contact HR.0
