Hi, when i lived in London( Bromley) i had a very close friend for many years. When i moved back to Preston we kept in touch for a long time after, last contact was 1995....................i last wrote to the last known address and unfortunately had a letter returned saying no longer at that address..................She has been on my mind for quite some time now, I have no luck in finding the marriage by date she gave me...........................so i dont know if the marriage went through , i only have the first name of her partner at the time.

Is there any way of being able to find her????

many thanks

My feeling is that she must be the Marcia F Franks and she'd be in her late 40s now.

No sign of the marriage but it could be they married abroad.

If you have the old address, you could try Dartfordl library to see who lived there at that time and get Paul's surname.

Try Friendsreunited - designed for finding non-related people. They have a workplace section

I think you should remove the comments about her mother

And look in 'search trees'

I am looking for a long lost friend, a lot of year's have passed since i last saw him...cant even remember his last name.
His first name is Michael, & his address was
1, Goldington Building's Royal Collage Street London.
But becourse i dont know his surname im stuck.
The last time i saw him was abt 1957 ( yes i know it's a long time )
If i could just find his surname..
Many thanks for reading this post..... :-)

June, you have tacked this on to an unrelated thread I think! You need to start a new one for your own query.
However, as you are here, it is easy to answer. You need to look at the electoral register for that address. These are normally at the nearest main library for the area. You have to go in person, or if this is not possible ask the staff to look for you.

Welcome to the boards Stanley

Please start a thread of your own giving more details...I would imagine there are 100s of Derrick Bishop's throughout the world

Glad this got nudged up. I took a look at Tracey's request again and Marcia's still in Kent living with her mother. Looks like the marriage never occurred.

Will PM Tracey.
