Title: Looking for old friend in Haworth
Post by: Lolita on Thursday 04 August 11 01:19 BST (UK)
I am looking for an old school friend that I have lost touch with whose last known address was Haworth (*) her name is * (nee *) and her husband was * (presumably *) no second names known.  I live in New Zealand and have looked in the British Telecom book with no success.  It could be that they have moved house but I would love to get in touch with them again.  Can anyone help please?

You could try Friends Reunited

Dependant on the time that has passed since you last made contact, why not send a letter with a self addressed envelope enclosed.
Maybe the present occupiers may have a forwarding address.
The telephone No may now be 'ex directory', that is not disclosed publicly or private.

Hi,

You could try a letter to a local newspaper. My father managed to track down his cousin's family last year by writing to a local newspaper; all he had was an address found on a 1947 marriage certificate!  Some of the groom's family were still in the area and got in touch to give him contact details.

Good Luck!

Thank you Nanny Jan - I'll try the letter first.  A more recent message  suggests that they are ex directory but may still be living at the same address in Haworth.  An excellent suggestion.  Lolita
