I have an address but need to find out if the person living there is the person significant in my family search. The only way I would know is by their date of birth. Is there anyway I can do this? Very, very grateful for any suggestions. Sarah

What time period are we talking about? 20th century or earlier? If it's 19th century you could try the nearest censuses

If you mean they are currently alive, all you can do is find them on the electoral register which will tell you they are over 18. nell

Thanks for this David and Nell, it is a current address and occupier. I have found out that the person is on the electoral roll (therefore over 18) but ideally would like a more exact age. Talking to my contacts though, I don't think this is possible. Thanks for your help. Sarah
