Finding an address in the UK

M.E
By M.E

Hey there,

I am trying to send a gift for someone living in the UK. Unfortunelty, I don't know their address, nor where exactly they live. I know they live in West London, I know their name and their cell phone number.
I don't want to ask them for their address because I don't want to spoil the surprise.

I have tried so many websites but nothing worked. I tried:
-Yellow pages
-White pages
-192 (They gave me three addresses with the same name)
-Geneology

Wasn't very usefull, so if anyone coming from UK or lived there knows how I can get this person's address, please let me know.

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Darudeeee you made me laughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! :)

Darude, everyone on QL was rude to me, I had to fight back! :D Plus they are suppose to give me a gift and say sorry not me. But in that person, miles away, I am the one that hurt him not the other way.

On QL it wasn't me who started the fight.

But you are exceptional ;)

Will check that

DaRuDe

no worries i will send you sunflowers.

Chocoholic booked the red roses

and FS booked the black roses

By DaRuDe• 9 Feb 2011 11:16
DaRuDe

hmmm Fedex and DHL will not send flowers.

they are delivered as they are cant be packed.

Now you do need address.

No worries if you dont find any solution you can send them to me here just few km away from you :D

let me check the site.

I was going to, but then I noticed that Roses have thorns.... :o(

You are perfect, so it would not have been appropriate ..

By M.E• 9 Feb 2011 11:11
M.E

I did the same, but didn't work.

Thanks Snessy ;)

You can find addres visit Postcode finder in royal mail website. If you know their names

By snessy• 9 Feb 2011 11:08
snessy

I would suggest removing the name from here...

Brit: don't be so tight this year, at least send me one rose.

By M.E• 9 Feb 2011 11:06
M.E

I tried 192, and 123people but didn't work. :S

I got three addresses on 192, with the same name. :S

123people nothing usefull.

Thanks

By M.E• 9 Feb 2011 11:04

www.192.com

www.123people.co.uk

(I used them to track down Snessy, so I can send her an anonymous valentine day card :o)

Mate - did you use the "People Finder" tab at the top of the home page??

By DaRuDe• 9 Feb 2011 10:57
DaRuDe

most of the online stores use Fedex not DHL.

So fedex is fine.

By M.E• 9 Feb 2011 10:56
M.E

Really?! That will be my last option. Thanks Elias!

Thanks Darude!

DHL ,

Would help you , by calling them when your gift arrive to UK and get the address ..

By M.E• 9 Feb 2011 10:54

118 no result find :(

If I call it's different?

Snessy, I thought of sending to work, but I really want to send it to their house. And yes, it is a Valentine Gift. :)

Andee, OMG, how can I do that? What is the Electoral roll?

By Andeee• 9 Feb 2011 10:49
Andeee

If you have their full name then you can check the Electoral roll (or something like that) which has the address for all people that have voted/elected. Thats how I found my dad's address after searching for nearly 20 years....

By Chairboy• 9 Feb 2011 10:46
Chairboy

Update - its also a website - www.118.com

By snessy• 9 Feb 2011 10:45
snessy

They'll think you're a fruitloop if you ask at work - if you know where they work, why not send it there. If it's a Valentine's gift, you'll get extra brownie points for sending it to work ;-)

By Chairboy• 9 Feb 2011 10:45
Chairboy

Its a number - well, 6 numbers actually!! It took over from Directory Enquiries some time ago when the service was privatised.

By M.E• 9 Feb 2011 10:43
M.E

I call this number or is it a website?

By snessy• 9 Feb 2011 10:42

Northolt is in West London and Dormers Wells isn't too far from there...

By M.E• 9 Feb 2011 10:42
M.E

If I call up a company where they worked, woudl they give me their address? Or is it illegal?

By Chairboy• 9 Feb 2011 10:42
Chairboy

192 is a thing of the past - try 118 118

By M.E• 9 Feb 2011 10:41
M.E

Unfortunetly, I don't have any details of their family members, I just know names.

Also I don't know their friends.

By M.E• 9 Feb 2011 10:40
M.E

I have their facebook, but they are not putting their address on facebook.

On 192, there was Luton, Northolt and the third no address details.

Actually I haven't registered yet on 192, so I could get the full details. I wanted something easier, so I dropped it.

I want to send something through an online store Darude, not DHL or Fedex.

That's their univeristy "University of Bedfordshire"

And that's their high school "Dormers Wells High School"

Can these details help?

Can you get in touch with one of their friends/relatives?

Scotland Yard! If they can't, try James Bond.

Have you checked FB?

Just right their name

City

and phone number

and send it through fedex or dhl

no need for detail address.

By snessy• 9 Feb 2011 10:31
snessy

No worries, if 192 gave you 3 addresses, can't you work out which one is in West London? TBH, I'm not so sure 192 are reliable.

By M.E• 9 Feb 2011 10:31
M.E

I know where they studied, high school and university. Can it help? I also knwo a couple of places where they worked.

By M.E• 9 Feb 2011 10:29
M.E

Thanks snessy.

That's bad :S

By M.E• 9 Feb 2011 10:29
M.E

Or if there is a number I can call, who can possibly help; it would be great.

Thanks.

By snessy• 9 Feb 2011 10:28
snessy

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can't find an address with such limited details.
