How to find people with the United Kingdom

There are many ways of tracing people to a current address within our united kingdom, some options will be free and some options will be expensive or at least will involve a cost factor. The internet is an incredibly useful tool for finding people online be they old friends or new prospective business contacts but it is often neither free nor easy to successfully confirm a person’s details. That is why we have private investigators and tracing agents. It is more than often far more cost effective to utilise the skills of the professional rather than undertake your own investigations. That said it can often be fun to investigate for yourself but if you are serious and are working to a timeline then our advice is to use a professional tracing service.

A simple but effective way of searching for someone within UK for Free is to use the UK telephone directories or to access Electoral Roll records in a local library or town hall. The real problem in tracing people to a current home address is when the person you are seeking to trace is not listed on either Electoral roll records or telephone directories. In these cases you will need to purchase specialist tracing tools like:

If you know an old address for the missing person it is possible the old mobile telephone number registered to old address may be still live and connected.

A few tips or points to be aware of when you are looking to trace a missing person.

Full name

What’s in a name? – Well not much, names can change, names can be entered upon data bases incorrectly, - and did you say Karen or Caren? People get married and change their names. If you get the basics wrong it is highly unlikely you will succeed in tracing the missing person.

Age/date of birth

If you know their date of birth, you are in a strong position as this information is something that cannot be changed, yes it can be acknowledged that a date of birth could be inputted incorrectly or someone could lie but in most cases the day you were born is a constant in your life. Using someone’s date of birth can often be a key to successfully locating the missing person.

Last known address/area

If you have an address for the person then you further increase the likelihood of locating them. The electoral roll is a good way to find. The electoral roll is online at various costs from 1980 to 2011 but remember if you use an online service to perform an electoral roll search, since 2003 you have been able to edit yourself from the electoral roll so bear this in mind. In 2011 approximately 44% of those eligible to be recorded upon the electoral roll opted to remove their details from edited electoral registers.

If the missing person`s parents are still alive and you know there name it may straightforward to locate them and then contact them to find out where their offspring still resides. If you knew where they worked, could they still be there? It may be worth checking this out or checking other similar businesses in the area and asking for your person. If the person’s parents are dead then often obtaining a death record for the deceased person can be really helpful, especially if the missing person is the nominated next of kin on the death record. The informant or next of kin details on the death record will include an address at the time of the death.

Method of working

Make sure you write everything down, collating information is really important when looking to trace a person to a current address. In practice this means that if you stop for a break you know where you got to and do not spend hours getting back to the same place. You are going to have to make a lot of telephone calls so make sure you are courteous with the people you are speaking to and don’t get frustrated if they cannot or will not help with your investigations.
