looking for someone

[reidy73]

iam looking for my friend she worked over here she is from canada iknow which street don,t know wot number would kove to contact her.

[squarebear]

That's too vague to be answerable.

[MiniN]

with a vague discription like that I'm not sure how anyone can help you. the UK is a large place. we would need more details to help.

[reidy73]

she does,nt stay in the uk she stays in canada,her street is upland drive ontario canada can,t remember the house number though.

[SKA]

how many houses are on the street? post a letter to every house if there not too many!!

[reidy73]

if i can recall there are alot of houses on the street,how would igo about doing that

[squarebear]

How would you send a letter to every house in the street??Send a letter to each one:

1 Upland Drive
2 Upland Drive
3 Upland Drive

and so on.

[legume]

send it to number 1 and ask them to pass on to number 2 if its not them

[squarebear]

Or knock on a few doors and ask if anyone knows her.

[aka pixi]

I guess you know her surname? Can you phone directory enquiries or find an online phonebook?

[dundurn]

I know of an Ontario in New York State and another in California, but as far as I know Canada's Ontario is a state, so I think you're still short of enough info to send this letter.

Canada is an enormous country and the province of Ontario covers an area much bigger than the whole of England. You would need to know at least which town your friend lives in before you start your search.

reidy73 - why not make a huge placard with your friend name and pin it on your back.

does the sell dog breath?

Reidy; this might help:

Type in the person's last name, and then select each Province in turn. It's a little tedious, but you might get lucky!. I would select Ontario first (ON). Dont type in the first name because some people use their initials, or their middle name.

[stewey]

What I mean by the last sentence is that if you type in 'Mary Smith' for her name, you will not get a hit if she is listed in the book as 'M Smith'.

[stewey]

Yet another add-on! I should have mentioned that this method of tracing someone will not work if they do not have an ordinary (land-line) phone ,or if they do have one but their number is unlisted (ex-directory I think you call it).
