Please does anyone know when this site will update the electoral roll. It is still only going up to 2014. I can't see any 2015 results? I really need to find a relative who moved in 2014. I live several hundred miles from the area he lived in so going to a local library is not an easy option.
Thank you

No idea when GR will have the 2015, but depending how urgent it is you could buy credits for £9.95 ( plus VAT) on 192.com assuming the person you're looking for has registered in their new home and also not opted out of it being public.

See if you can identify him on http://www.thephonebook.bt.com/
You do have to have a general idea of where he moved to and hope that his name and initials aren't common ones!

If its just out of general interest rather than urgent, you could write to the current occupiers and ask if they have a forwarding address. If they bought the property from him, they could give you the address of their solicitors who should have a record of his solicitors. In turn, his solicitors might be willing to forward a message or letter to his new address.
