Thank you for all your advice...but due to me being asked by a relative to trace her...as a matter or urgency i guess iv just put it on anywhere ...i have used this site several times before over many years and located 7 siblings of my own step sisters also and birth mother ...and at that time there were several people assisting with ideas after the search had taken 15 years in total...i do find it extremely useful to get as many peoples perspectives as possible as this assists me greatly with my own understanding...i am extremely grateful for all the assistance and to the providers of the address in Crawley as the relative has been looking themselves on and off for 30 years ...so they were delighted with the fact there was a line of hope and enquiry for Yvette, as they had contacted children's services and several agencies previously and had no joy or assistance, but this evening that has changed slightly for him, as the relative no longer lives in uk, they are much more hopeful for a more positive outcome before they get too old to travel back here...
Thanks to all for your assistance as without your interest in searching many of us would not know our true heritage x

Write to the Crawley address and to the immediate neighbours asking if they know what happened to her. You'll have to give some general information as to why you want to contact her.

She might still be living there but opted out of the ER. You could check the address on http://www.zoopla.co.uk/ to see if it has been sold recently. Admittedly that won't help if she had rented.

Marriage and Death gro references online only go up to 2006/7 so if any 'event' has taken place after then, it won't show up
She could have emigrated or just changed her name.

Every one wants to help you but if you have another query about Yvonne, or any other person/family could you please stick to one thread per person or related family?
It saves people repeating the same searches and is better for everyone if all the information is in one place.

Ta ever so and good luck in finding Yvonne

The address was Crawley and I did say she doesnt show on any electoral rolls after 2007 so no one can give you her current address,

Wendy have you ruled out that she is still at that address? It may be that she has just opted out of the electoral roll since then.

Otherwise, unless she shows up somewhere else on a more recent entry , have you considered contacting neighbours to that 2007 address?
