I would be really grateful for advice on this!

I am trying to trace my dads long lost sister, the trouble is I have an address from 1984 and she is no longer there! Im not sure where to go next??

Thanks for your time

You could try asking for an electoral roll search - or check the phone books.

Sorry to be morbid............but have you checked deaths 1984-2007?............ on Ancestry

Bear in mind that, if she is alive, her name may not now be the same as it was in 1984.................

As she is a proper relative and you/your dad would be concerned about her the best people to help would be the Salvation Army. They will do their best and have many lines of research, they do search abroad too, but don't do adoption searches.
Good luck
