it's present - a living person so I don't wish to share the name
If you live in the same city or county as the person you are looking up, you may be able to see the copy of the electoral register in the
Library.

There is a case for making this query a "sticky" as it often gets asked

Lots of agencies,   both national government bodies and local government departments,   and commercial companies  buy a copy of electoral registers.  Mostly digital copies,  but also paper hard copies are  available  to many people.

I did thank you very much.  ScouseBoy's comment to make this a sticky might be a good idea

thank you for all your help and comments.  I knew I could rely on Rootschat!
