Hope it is a match, please let us know - when you send a message you can check if it has been read. Just go to sent messages and the envelope will be dark if it is unread, and clear if it has been read.

Have you tried friends reunited or facebook. If you know the area they lived in, you could try the electoral rolls or bt directory enquiries. There are some members on this site who offer to do electoral roll look ups.
