You could try putting the post code or address into Google maps and see what comes up.

thanks Gwyn may come back to you tomorrow have tried google maps again with info she sent and came up with same as before so waiting on reply may need to confirm where the postcode bit goes would be nice for mum to write to her bridesmaid seeing as its there 5oth this year, hence the search for her and its her niece in this country I am in contact with but shes not in contact with her aunt anymore gets very complicated lol. d x
