I don't think there is one, if you believe they are still in the area you could try www.192.com which can help locate people in a known area. The Social Security might be able to find them and pass on a letter on your behalf, they could be tracked by there s/s numbers. hope this helps Good luck and good hunting If they are dead and buried it depends what you wish to know! As far as Government agencies go, you will not get very far via this route. The only information you can find from any UK government source is a birth marriage or death certificate, and you must know the name, date and place before you can order it! There is a 100 year disclosure rule on all other personal records and a another law called the Data Protection Act forbids any Government body from passing on information stored on computer to you! If you added their details a member of a UK genealogy site could probably look them up for you. The biggest UK genealogical site is really a contact site called www.genesreunited.com. There is a massive increase in family history research here due to TV and radio programmes. www.genesreunited.com has millions of members so you have a very high chance of finding somebody related to this family there. If you contact them they would probably help so long as it is not for any illegal or unpleasant purpose. Ancestry.co.uk also has details from UK telephone books up until 1984 and this may be of use. |
