Hi

I did a similar thing a few years ago, I knew where she was living but still couldn't find her, I narrowed down that search and remembered that I had an uncle and knew roughly where he was living. Men are easier to find cause they don't change their names. Write down everything you remember ie members of the family, particularly any male relatives from her side and try to narrow down your search that way. If you know what her surname is then great, you can search for her on the electoral roles.

I hope this helps Nicola

I'm trying to track down my own mother, and I believe I know which town/city she was in (Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire) in 2008. Is there an easy and preferably free (as I'm on a limited budget) way to find her? I haven't seen her since 1976, when I was 3 years old, and to be this close to finding her, but stuck, is frustrating.

Thanks in advance for any helpful advice...
