Hello, I've been asked by a relative in America to see if I can find out what has happened to a friend of hers that she hasn't heard from for a couple of years, and she is concerned that she may have died. I have looked on Ancestry and Find my Past and the death records don't cover the past few years. Any help/advice really appreciated. This is the email I have received:

Hi, here is all the information I have I am looking for ELAINE HANWELL last known address the OLD QUEENS HEAD, Dodford, Northampton, I think she rented out rooms to make a living, loved dogs and gardening, age 58 birthday May 8th. Mothers name MYRA BOUILLEMIER last known address 1 Phippsville Court, St. Mathews Parade, Northampton, she lived alone but I haven't been able to reach her there for about two years we used to talk a couple of times a year and the occasional letter, I think she may have passed away or be in a Nursing Home. There was another daughter, I think married with chiuldren living in Northampton. Myra was the sister of Doctor Kelley from Leicester who was our family doctor. I can't think of anything else but call me with any questions. I really appreciate anything you can do, its difficult when you are in a different country, Last I knew Elaine didn't have a drivers license.

would Elaine be living with her family, Christopher J, Marcus L and Jack C Hanwell? And did she have a middle name beginning with M?
I'm in Bristol. There are records in the main library on microfilm. You ring previously to book a microfiche to view the slides. Plenty of people will help you. I traced my husbands uncle on this and discovered he had died. I think you may find there are records in other large libraries if you are not near this one. Also the Mormons keep very complete records for some reason, I don't know why. They may be able to help you. There is no charge attached to the library one, but the Mormons may ask for a donation, don't really know about this.
Looks as if Dotty might have solved it for you without any fuss.
I used 192.com SB,

Thank you both very much. I'll get back to my cousin and see if she has any other family Dotty.
I didn't know about 192.com, so will have a look on there.

The lady may still be alive (she's only 58 so I hope so).
there is noone of the second name on 192.com and that site also holds the electoral rolls
There is a Myra E Watkins living in Northhampton in 2002 with an Edith Bouillemier postcode NN1. also at the address are James Bullock and Hilda Brown

Thank you Dotty. I've emailed my relation and am waiting for her reply.
