192 service

[DSJ]

I am trying to trace the whereabouts of an old schoolfriend. I see that she & her husband are shown on the 192 website as being registered on the 2012 Electoral Register but I cannot access her address without subscribing to the site.

I'm dubious about registering & paying a fee, although I have read the terms & conditions, and wonder if any of you have done so. Do you think it is worth pursuing and if so, how much does it cost?

Any advice much appreciated.

Something like £2 a search. Follow the "Help" link on their website.
It used to be free or "credits" could be earned by subscribing to some questionnaires. Needless to say, when they started charging I chose not to subscribe.
If you are searching for someone who you know lives on a fairly short road you can make repeated searches using every number on the road until you get the required "hit". You are limited to 10 free searches a day though so the above approach could get rather tedious!
Other free sites worth a try are bt.com and http://www.postoffice.co.uk/

Thanks for the information. I'll give it a try.
