Well, thats a difficult one unless they are male and have a very unusual surname.

Vicci

Vicci Report 26 Feb 2009 22:44

If they are male and you think they might still be alive then try www.192.com

if female will have to look for a marriage so as to get current surname then try www.192.com

search on
www.ancestry.co.uk and
http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

order certificates from http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp

It's well worth a look , 192.com

I found my GF's sister ( born 1920 ) and her family, very luckily it gave me the info free!!, ( name, address and phone no ) but I'm sure more often than not you will have to buy credits.

Good luck!
