The time limit is fairly long, up to 30 years. Your best bet is to check for a probate and see who it goes to. Most heir hunters will try more than once to get in contact.

previous post - Electoral Roll question ?

How do you research it (192.com ?) and what if its been designated 'no publicity ?


Cheers !

so many questions, I can't give away to many trade secrets!

we dont use 192.com

we have several different pieces of people finding software as well as our library, costs a lot of money and the truth is if you don't want to be found we cant find you. I just don't have access to all the records I would like (bank and full electoral role's)

I do have some stuff that I just cant tell you about

Fair enough !

I found an Uncles marriage and hence my cousins birth and probable marriage - but when I use 192 or Directory Enqs, theres just too many possibilities to pin him down ..... plus he may have ticked the box  :D

Isn't it only in the last few years that one could tick the box to be left off 'public' electoral rolls? Or perhaps Northern Ireland is different?

it is from 2001-2002 that there is the box there are other records that we can access. So that makes little difference.

There is a shared database that is used by the financial institutions to link names dates of birth and addresses it covers all movements. Most banks don't use the Electoral role, but can search for any one on this database, that includes when they are chasing a debt. I would like to use this to find people to give them the money. I don't think the government have access to this.
