    I think that once we know the OP has taken the info down then maybe ziffius could edit the post and remove the private info?

    EDIT hope you get back in touch with your friend OP!! :)

    This has been fascinating. I have been trying to find an old school friend, but can't seem to get anywhere. Have tried the websites mentioned, but no joy. My mate moved to Kingswinford in 1985. Thats 22 years ago!! Where did the time go??

    Isn't this exciting! Would rather not put names up on the board, don't think it is fair. But the family moved from Tadcaster (north yorks) in 1985 to Kingswinford. I lost touch with them a couple of years after that. My mate is about 38 and his sister a few years younger. PM me if you want! Thanks again

    Hi there, been hunting around and think they may now be in the Halesowen or Dudley areas. Would love to know how they are getting on.

    Have you tried putting their name in Friends Reunited? You can search names now and you don't need to know what school they went to.

    Good luck :D

    Come OP, come back and tell us what happened!!
