Hi Ian

The edited version is available on www.192.com (http://www.192.com).  You can search free, but have to pay for credits to view full information.

Remember that you can now opt out of the publicly available register, so the person you are looking for may not be listed.

Regards, Bill

It might be worth noting that the data on b4u appears to be about 2002

Just did a search for an old girlfriend using the 2006 search link to test it out and got the following result (no information showing):

Just found my father-in-law on the free search - still shows MIL who passed away in April 2003!

Tried to remove the entry, but it requires you to enter telephone and mobile numbers, plus e-mail address.  FIL doesn't have a mobile phone or an e-mail address, so it won't remove him!

Also shows me, with wife and son, living at our old address in Deal.  Definitely out of date!  It won't let me remove that one (3 different entries!) either - keeps giving an error.

Overall, I'm not very impressed with this site!!  :(

Regards, Bill

Used to be free - I suppose I should verify every entry in my Favourites.

Sorry to have misled you Leo

OK, now the site is back up ...

I can see 2 names that are deffo 2005 vintage - based on when they moved in.


Suggest you make your own minds up. Its obviously flawed, but may be of some value.
