People Finder
Something to bear in mind:
The authorities have a different definition between a ‘missing person’ and a ‘lost relative or contact’
The person you wish to trace may not wish to be found
What methods are used? In our digital world most of us have some kind of access to digital equipment and the web giving a plethora of information. Yes, we do use modern electronic methods in a systematic and legal way however, we never forget that humans are involved where sensitivity and empathy, combined with transparency and tenacity is required.
Here are some of the sources we may use:
Birth, death and marriage records for England & Wales
BT database
Companies House
DVLA database
Experian database
Electoral roll
Insolvency Register
