Hi Dawnsh,

Thanks for your reply,

No I have not written a letter,  how can i have not got a number for the Lane where my second cousin lives, I feel the same feelings has you say but would still like to have someone call on the houses as i have information for her. Not good these days to do that really,

This must be very frustrating for you!

What about trying to send a trial letter to the name and street address that you have - obviously without a number, as you don't have that.  Even a question mark instead of a number.  I have often had letters sent to me from overseas without a street number on, and Postal services has added the number.  Don't know if your UK postal service do pets that, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Remember though, to put your own sender address!    ;D

Good luck with your hunt!  Hope you get a result soon!

I have cut out the posts where you mention names and /or addresses of living people, or people who may still be living.

Bob

 Hi Berlin bob, & Everyone,

Thanks for your help, Patients, i will do what you suggest no more names I will put up. will try writing letter to address with Name and question mark I have done it before to and have sometimes got an answer.  that was my last resort anyway.
A big thank you, However did find some names but have to pay and will try without paying by sending a letter.
regards fishy

Fishy

Her surname was recorded as starting with M not B

she was at 106

The post code is SK14 5LF

Sorry for being cryptic, trying not to break the 'no living people' policy.
