Contacting long and lost relative

dawn2dusk

hi, i hope someone can direct me in the right direction. To cut a long story short, i am trying to contact relatives who i have not seen for a few years.I know their address, but the search site wants payment for phone numbers, 192, that is. Can anyone help, please

Thanks two pints, i have tried there, but they do not have anything for the address i have.

When I did this a few years ago I wrote a letter to the address I had.

We exchanged phone numbers after contact had been made again.

Yep I would send a letter and your contact details and see what happens

Have you tried the Salvation Army's tracing service?

UK Info disk V11 (think that was the last one) is what you want matey.

has phone & electoral register.

can't help where to get it, but i'm sure google will help you

Thanks everyone, its the phone number i am trying to get, but you are right, maybe i should contact by letter, i have street name but not number.

See, if BT has no contact details, they're probably ex-directory, so may well be very difficult to find by phone. Electoral roll may help, but they can opt out of having details showing on public version of that. A google for their name may bring up a social networking profile or an email address. I've just googled DH and found us VERY quickly ...

what about doing a search on friends reunited to see if they're online , you can maybe send them a message through that

Thanks savvy sue and barjam, will try these options tomorrow. Should have made it clear although i know the street name, cannot remember number. Thanks everyone for your help. Grateful for any suggestions.
