Hi,
Can anyone recommend a lookup site that is both not too expensive and reliable for searching for living relatives, say maximum of half a dozen names.
Many thanks
Paul

www.192.com gives those on electoral roll for recent years unless the person has ticked the box for privacy option. Free unless you need more details.

Hi Sandy,
192.com will show up names you are looking for but no further information unless you take out a subscription.
Quote:
"While credits are the currency of 192.com, in order to be able to use your credits to search Historical Electoral Roll information from 2002-2006 you will also need to purchase an annual extended archive membership. This is a one-off annual payment of £149.99."

This is definitely out of my budget range.

Many thanks
Paul

Paul, have you put the details on the Trying to Find board? if you know the geographical area there will probably be a GR member not to far away from it that can help

Hi Colin,
Placing information on trying to find 'living relatives' could be a bit tricky especially if they are unaware of who you are. Some lovely people have in the past done the searches for me but this time I thought I should do it myself, but within my price bracket.
Many thanks
Paul

Prices are reasonable as you can see.

Send me the details in a message and I will look for you.
Dont put the name on here.
