Hi, I have 4 possible adresses here, have your already received these from Steve and Vikki? Sheila

I am in northampton if i can be of any assitance here! Might be ale to do some finding out locally- message me off thread if you like ~Jess~

hi jess i now live in ouston chester-le-street which is not that far from darlington where i was born sanxx

hi sheila i got 66 huntly road darlo from vikki and 6 front street staindrop peterborough was found by chance what are the four addresses you have sanxx

HI These are the 4 entries for the name Terence D Fletcher in the uk, have also sent a list of all Terence Fletchers in case, you can rule out a lot as they have the wrong middle inital. Good Luck! Sheila

thanks for that sheila now narrowed it down to 28 possibles

The one near me- is the road called ...... Cresent or The......., in a village just out side town? have looked in phone book, not listed. will go and have a gander (nothing more) later if you can cornfirm ~Jess~

Hi Sandra Wow 28! Happy letter writing! You never know and I have everything crossed that one of them is the correct one Good Luck Vikki xx

thanks vikki now down to 16 letters to write eliminated some by phone and with some help

Sandra - i am totally confused - mike sent me message with an address i believe he sourced for you- maybe wrong- which is different to the one you are telling me. There are two roads of a very similar name locally and guess you need the right one. Mike say's its 'The D........' You say its ' D....... Cresent' They are not far apart geographically (about 3 miles) but a world apart in the type of housing.One is a small olde worlde cottage and the other an ex-council terrace!! ~Jess~

HI Sandra, Have you elimniated the 4 with the middle inital first, normally you are suppposed to put your full name down on the electoral roll, though some people dont. I would rule them out first,(even though they are not local you said he moved around the country) if Christopher can do this with dob, then concentrate on the nearest to where you know his family where. Sheila

....and i live in Northampton and willing to do what i can to help- but need clarificatiion of address! Christopher - is it the one ''The D......'' Earls B..... Am going to the libriary tommorow, confirmation would help! ~jess~

thanks everyone for helping me im getting myself in a right tizzy here dont know if im coming going been or went at the minute ya lucky if i know my own name lol super stars all of you xxxxxxxxxxxxx
