I wonder if anyone can help with this please.

A friend of mine has had 2 Christmas cards wrongly delivered to her house and she very much wants to get them to the right people.

The only name on the envelope looks like Diment or Durant, and they are from a grandfather to Jasmine and Daisy.

They were delivered to Powlesland Road in Exeter.

Many thanks.

What was the actual address on the envelope?

Was the postcode correct?

Let me know by PM, to avoid infringement of privacy rights

Have you - or your friend - tried looking in the local phone book???

Many thanks for your help Jacqueline. My friend has looked in the phone book but no luck.

The cards were initially delivered to 24 Powlesland Road, Exeter which was the wrong address also.

JAZMIN Durant did live at the address in Powlesland Road in 2012 (according to electoral registers)- I've sent (by PM) a 2014 address for a Jasmin Durant in Exeter which may be worth trying.

It's wonderful that you and your friend have made the effort to trace these people. I do hope they receive their cards.
Happy Christmas to you all!

Hi Gritty

I did send a PM on Facebook but it's not been read yet, but hope she gets back to me. She doesn't look to be a very active FB user though.

Coincidentally, I notice 2 of her FB friends have the surname Diment, so I'm pretty sure the information you gave me is correct.

I also found her birth record which is Exeter too!

I'll update you soon hopefully.

Your warm Christmas greetings are appreciated .... have a good one yourself :-D
