Hi everyone. I am trying to find my half brother called Robert Stewart. I have copies of our parents mariage certificates. His father Robert Kenneth Stewart died in 1968 and Robert Stewart registered his death.I believe his mother may also have died to. I have checked his name against electoral role for past 5 years,now I'm a bit stuck(sorry new to this game)What is the best way to trace a living relative?

Is it possible that Robert could have died? I have recently been researching living relatives and found that not all are on the Electoral Roll as you have discovered yourself. The other problem being they could be in a totally different area to where you think they are living. I trawled Ancestry looking for whom that person married then to Electoral Roll and listed both parties names until I found a match on the address. It worked for me on a numerous occasions. Good Luck.
